Pysch Central – Neil Peterson
“I was never really into school, but I’d like to think that I’ve made up for it with my enthusiasm for learning things on my own. One of my latest, and largest, self-education projects is trying to break out of the monolingual American stereotype and teach myself a second language. I’m not there yet. You couldn’t parachute me into a non-English-speaking country and have me function like a native. But I’m having little successes. I can read the headlines and know what most of them are saying. Increasingly, I can get my point across when talking to a native speaker, even if some of the words I use are a little messed up. I’m hopeful that I’ll get there eventually. One thing I do know, though, is that if you have ADHD, you absolutely can learn a new language.” (more)
