Why can’t adults learn languages like children?
In: Biology
In addition to what other people are saying, adults are very rarely fully immersed in any 2nd language the way kids are.
Adults can choose where they live, who they marry, where they work, and which ways they socialize in their free time and very rarely do they choose to do more than 1 or 2 of those things in a 2nd language.
An adult who fully immerses themselves in a language for 5 years can come out of that speaking much better than a 5 year old kid would, they just rarely choose to do that.
