  1. People who are "naturally" good at things are simply who micro-practise constantly as they experience the world around them. If you imagine keyboarding then spelling and keyboard patterns become "natural" aptitudes. Whether language, math, athletics, whatever, any and all talents can be picked up before 50. After 50 years old, still most abilities can be picked up but it slows down. Taking a long time is so much better than trying to get by without it.
