Optimal Language Learning describes the effective, idiosyncratic approaches of five highly gifted language learners and discerns patterns among their stories of success.

The study investigates how existing knowledge shapes the learning of a new language, emphasizing the connection between familiar and unfamiliar concepts. It explores the influence of background languages on language acquisition, highlighting the automatic processes involved when learners encounter a new language. Through this exploration, the research aims to uncover the mechanisms by which prior linguistic experiences affect the understanding and assimilation of new linguistic information.
