According to research, boys do tend to be more difficult to learn language skills. Human brain consists two main tissues, gray matter and white matter. Research shows that in general men have gray matter 6.5 times greater than women, whereas white matter 10 times more women than men.
Gray matter is a major component of the central nervous system which can be described as the processor on the computer. Whereas white matter consists mainly of axons of myelin (a white fatty substance) which is the main transmission lines of the nervous system.
This is why men tend to excel in fields that require local processes such as mathematics. While women are more superior in the field of assimilation (adaptation) information such as language skills.
