False.

The right hemisphere is typically associated with non-verbal tasks such as spatial, musical, and visual recognition. The left hemisphere involves verbal tasks, such as language and reading. You are said to be "right-brained" if you are stronger in mathematical subjects and concepts, and "left-brained" if stronger in linguistics.
