Eli5: why does it get harder to learn a language as you get older?

466 viewsBiologyOther

It’s so easy to pick it up as as a child when everyone arounds you is speaking that language, but for some reason becomes difficult to pick up another language and learn it even if you’re constantly surrounded by people who speak it? why’s that?

Doesn’t it have to do with the plasticity of the brain or something?
