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?
In: Biology
You can still learn language as an adult, you only have to allow yourself the chance to “look dumb” and speak “broken language”. If you look at language as means to convey your thoughts to another person, then as long as you get your point across it’s good enough.
But for adults it’s often: “I don’t want to speak like a 4 year old” and you block yourself from taking those first steps. You hold yourself up to some standard, and your pride gets in a way of looking like a rookie.
Kids don’t care. A kid will tell you your face is disfigured, and that your forehead is massive. Adult is less likely to tell you those things, because we teach ourselves to look nice to the outside. Same goes for speaking a different language.
