I am a linguist, not a language major, but I have long observed that many language majors are such because they have found that they are good at learning languages. And as a linguist (and one who is also good at learning languages), the key to being good at learning languages is an ability to recognize complex patterns unconsciously and store them in the deeper parts of the brain. And the more languages you learn the easier it is to learn new ones, even ones that are unrelated to your current languages. Those programmers who are proficient in more than one computer language may find a kernel of truth in the above. _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
