Exposure of multiple languages to children at a young age can help them learn languages faster and more fluently than if exposed as adults. Is it because children’s brains are more receptive to language at a young age? Is it because your mind has already developed a ‘default’ language when you’re older?
Why isn’t this pattern applicable to something like mathematics/any other subject?
In: Biology
Children’s brains are set up to learn unconsciously, they absorb language and their brains adapt to it. You didn’t learn English from a teacher, you learnt it without attempting to learn it.
This is not just for language, it is all skills.
Adults outperform children in their ability to learn under ‘awareness’.
