Why is it easier for children to learn a foreign language than for adults?
Mainly because imitating and motor learning skills are better during early childhood. Children are simply built to learn and absorb what is happening around them. They are curious and interested in learning about life. It is also proposed that the flexible muscular formation in a child's mouth enables a child to make new and different sounds and tones more easily than an adult's. According to recent studies, children can express 2000 words when they are 5 years old (learning 2-5 new words a day) and may understand 14000 words by the time they reach their 6th year (learning 9 words a day). Scientists propose that children can learn how to speak a foreign language without an accent before puberty (before 13-14 years of age). It is almost impossible to speak like a native speaker (without an accent) if the language is studied after puberty. [source]
