The ‘Teach Me Trait’ involves:

“Using ALL the individual’s pre-acquired language skills when teaching.”

A common method which is applied when teaching foreign languages is using the individual’s native language in order to facilitate the learning process. This does not imply that the native language will necessarily be used actively; it will, at times, merely be referred to indirectly. Teach Me stands out in this regard because it not only uses the individual’s native language but also other pre-acquired languages as well. This is because the rules and skills one learns with one language can also be applied to other languages, even though they may not appear similar at first glance.
