So if a person has some sort of musical ability than that person might be better at learning languages than another person who does not have any musical ability.
If we talk about motivation then I would say motivation also plays a very important role in language learning. Motivation and hard work is the key to success. So if we have a very high level of motivation for something, then we would definitely work hard to achieve success in that thing and we know working hard always pays off. So if a person is motivated to learn languages than that person would be better at learning languages than another person who has a lower motivation level or is not motivated at all.
So these are some of the things which in my
