I tried to learn Spanish Pre HRT and did ok with it but I was far from perfect. Now I have started relearning Spanish as I lost it from years of not using it and I am understanding it fine without needing to translate it into English to either read, write, or speak it. So may it does, and maybe it doesn't. I don't know if the Estrogen is making it easier, or if the fact that I had already studied it in the past, learn a third language has anything to do with it to. My guess is that it is a little bit of everything. Estrogen def has made me remember things much better than I have been able to in the past.
