how can babies/toddlers learn virtually any language on earth from easy ones such as spanish or english to hardcores like chinese or arab? Why is it so difficult when you are an adult?

As an analogy, think of the brain as a notebook or binder. When the baby is growing, their brain is developing, too; they’re adding blank pages to their notebook/binder. Of course, it’s easy to fill a blank page with useful information. When you’re an adult, your brain (notebook/binder) is getting very full. You can’t add information to it easily, and rewriting old parts of it is a difficult task. So it’s harder for an adult to learn basic stuff that a baby can learn easily.
