Do Adults Learn Languages Like Children?

from Learn Languages with Steve Kaufmann Hosted by Steve Kaufmann

👶 Everyone knows that children are better language learners, right? Well, the truth is not so simple... While children do have SOME advantages when it comes to language learning (e.g. pronunciation), we adults run circles around the little ones in other ways! In this video, I detail the similarities and differences between first and second language acquisition and the various linguistic and psychological advantages and disadvantages held by babies and adults.
