[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have adhd and am a very strong language learner. Remember-adhd is about difficulty focusing on non-preferred tasks. If your adhd kid loves history and doesn’t like language they will have extra trouble but if language happens to be an area of interest a kid can harness the hyper focus and really stand out in any subject. In any case, adhd medication should help since it’s a trouble spot and it may naturally improve as he gets older. [/quote]

Exactly this. Learning languages comes easily to me.

Things that helped me that might help someone else with ADHD were doing flash cards as I walked, playing language games with others, and just talking. Often people with ADHD just love to talk. I was shameless, and lucky to find lots of people willing to converse.

Other things that might help: watch language videos as you’re playing with slime or some other fidget, study while listening to really loudly, just anything that provides an extra boost of dopamine that you can do while studying.

The problem might be with the teacher or the program. Language learning is easiest when it’s intensive and made to be fun. [/quote]
