Many people believe that children have an advantage in language learning because their developmental stages support it.
But would you believe me if I said adults actually have the edge when it comes to learning a new language?
In fact, you already know multiple “second” languages – how to speak to your boss vs. speaking to your kids, or professional terminology for your job that others outside the industry don’t know.
In this sense, you’re always learning “new” languages!
This is why learning English and becoming fluent as an adult can be so much easier – once you stop using traditional language learning methods.
