Children learn a second/foreign language easier than adults.


This statement is true,  because children are literally a “sponge” that absorbs everything,  that is scientifically proven to children is more natural and easy to learn a new language, and that doesn´t make the translation process in his mind, the child associates the words such as "synonyms", in fact, this shows that children can develop perfectly well in multilingual environments, this means that the school can learn English and French at home  talk to his parents in Spanish and this doesn´t affect the child development and their ability to express themselves with the environment.

For adults is a little bit complicated because they're used to certain grammatical rules and express themselves in a way that totally changes when you are learning a new language, so adults should devote much more time and make the translation process in his brain to learn how to speak in another language.

  1. i agree with your choice zeidy because i also investigated about this topic and it resulted what i expected, that is to say, children are human beings with a great capacity for absorving knowledge like a bubble gum i mean that the more you strech it, the larger will get so it is the same as their brains, you can show them new things and they will learn it instantly because they haven't made up their minds yet. it doesn't happen the same with adults because they have learnt everything and with structures so when you put them in a difficult situation they probably might be lost because of their previous backgrounds and knowledge.

    good observation!!
