Good language learners have an interest and passion towards the native country of a language. That and the culture and the will to adapt and immerse in the culture brings so many more benefits.
An inquisitive nature to the differing customs and culture of a foreign country rather than a defensive attitude can only benefit learning.
A natural curiosity in the phonetics and vocabulary of a language and the colloquial uses as opposed to the more literal sense of language.
Talkers tend to develop good oral skills but listening is so important to be able to fully understand dialogue and questions and give a full, rounded response which has been properly digested.
Patience and desire, twinned with an attitude of not being embarrassed to make mistakes and a willingness to communicate and make friends. From experience, foreign nations are flattered and helpful with people attempting to learn the language and culture. Patriotism helps.
These personal qualities can be very helpful to learn any language:
1. Determination
2. Passion to learn the language.
3. Habit of practice the five basic tools i.e. speaking, listening, writing, grammar
4. Commitment to improve
Well, I'd go with curiosity and patience as well, and I think that for extroverted people, it's easier to communicate with people and find someone to practice. Personally, I've decided to turn to language learning with lingopie, and for me, it's not that hard to improve my language skills, so nowadays, anyone can learn a language without any difficulties.
I'm pretty sure it's curiosity and patience because it's hard to learn a language if you don't have such qualities.
Persistence - Passion - Reason.
