Reviewer 2 Report

Dear Authors,
I am impressed with the idea. The relationship between emotional intelligence and language skills seems to be seemingly insignificant. You have shown the connection in an interesting way. The study also does not raise any objections. The discussion is substantive. The only small clue concerns the concept of emotional intelligence. You can devote more attention to this issue.
