Would this shaping of the vocal tract explain why some people have such
distinct accents when they learn a second language whereas some people don't? I
always just assumed it had something to do with how well some people can
hear--some being better able to hear the fine nuances between sounds.
And this is why I always allow students to bring in an index card. I make sure
to call it a notes card and not a cheat sheet, not ever. The research shows it
