\nI read this article<\/a> about natural translators and musicians a while ago, and it got me thinking. Being a musician myself and having started my musical education at the tender age of three, I wonder if my musical talent has anything to do with my linguistic ability – or if it maybe even helped it emerge. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\nTo be sure, I’ve met plenty of musicians, including professional ones, who have a terrible time with languages, and although I have a surprising (or maybe not?) number of music-making colleagues, there are plenty who can’t carry a tune in a bucket, much less play an instrument. But still, it seems to me that there is some kind of connection between music and language, beyond the obvious that – as far as I know – all languages use inflections to convey meaning, so that in a way we sing when we speak.  <\/div>\n
\n
\nI am also the kind of person who learns best when speaking and hearing things (for example new vocabulary), although I am not entirely sure that that has anything to do with music. But we do say somebody has an ear for languages, don’t we, so maybe there is a connection after all.\n<\/div>\n
\n
\nWhat do you think?
\nIs there a connection between being musically inclined and having a knack for languages?
Are you a linguist and a musician?<\/p>\n
