LinguaLift pays for itself

Research shows that language learning leads to success in life and business

Vocabulary level correlated with success

Johnson O’Connor, a famous American researcher and educator, has found that a person’s vocabulary level is the best single predictor of occupational success in every area.

He further found that that vocabulary usually comes before achievement, not as a consequence of it, and that the ability to acquire vocabulary is largely learned, rather than depending on natural abilities.
