Revert Back to Childhood

It's said that children are better learners when it comes to languages than adults. In reality, babies are no better language learners than adults. There are no studies that show a direct link between reduced language learning abilities and increased age. This common misconception should not hinder anyone from fulfilling their own learning potential. There is a reason behind that odd statistic though. That being because for children, learning a language is a sink-or-swim situation.

They are born with a brain devoid of any cohesive form of communication. It's this type of urgency that one needs to feel when learning a new language. There is a hunger and curiosity in a child that a learner must emulate when learning a language. By adopting this attitude, a learner can immerse themselves in the learning experience. This total immersion environment is vital if the learner intends to become fluent in their chosen language.
