It's no secret that the way in which you speak and articulate can be substantial factors of how attractive—and probably just as often, unattractive—you appear to those around you. It's also common knowledge that other languages and accents different from your own can sometimes draw you to a person more than you normally would be. But what is the most attractive language of them all? According to a new study from e-learning platform Preply, it's the one that gets your heart beating the fastest.
To find that out which language did just that, researchers behind the study fitted 10 participants with heart monitors and played flirtatious "chat-up lines" in various languages from around the globe to identify the increase in heart rate from the group's resting average of 65 beats per minute (bpm).
