Do women learn languages faster than men?

I beg to disagree. I believe the capacity of a person is the determinant factor in learning languages faster and not the sex of the person. I think the higher the IQ and the better the memory, the faster you will learn the Language regardless of sex/gender.

Obviously everyone has the same potential for learning, depending of course on their intelligence and motivation. I think what might be true is that women have a tendency towards more communication. This might make them more likely to be motivated to learn multiple languages. Motivation is the biggest determining factor in how fast somebody learns something. So in a way this would suggest that women may learn languages faster than men. There would have to be an actual study on this to see whether it is valid though.
