Summary:
·
Neuroscientists find that trying harder makes it more
difficult to learn some aspects of language. When it comes to learning
languages, adults and children have different strengths. Adults excel at
absorbing the vocabulary needed to navigate a grocery store or order food in a
restaurant, but children have an uncanny ability to pick up on subtle nuances
of language, sometimes speaking a second language like a native speaker within
months. Brain structure plays an important role in this "sensitive
period" for learning language, which is believed to end around adolescence.

it more difficult to learn some aspects of language, neuroscientists find.
