I don't doubt that a bit, children are amazing language learners! I'm curious as to whether adults could learn the same way.


Children learn language at the same time they are learning how to be little humans. Neurological connections are being forged, deep pathways for life. Watching my son go through that hyper growth stage was mind blowing. He's trilingual. His recall and attention to details is remarkable. In contrast I've got my head in the (internet) clouds.

So no, I don't think we ever have that same level of growth and rapid learning.
