Children learn faster than adults because their brain is literally growing in size faster, the human brain typically grows until someone turns about 22, but as you age everything in your body grows at a slower rate.

∙ 12y agoAdults. the belief that children learn faster is a myth that has been dis-proven on several occasions. Myself as well as many others I know have learned a language to fluency In 2 years and under. A child usually obtains this level in 6 or 8 years. The Idea that children learn faster is an excuse for those who do not put in required effort.

∙ 12y agoNo, that is a myth. Adults learn faster, and I myself am living proof of this. I have learned a language to fluency in under 2 years. No child has learned a language to fluency by 2 years, it usually takes a child around 8 years to obtain that level. Sure children can speak at age 2, but how well? certainty not on a professional level.

∙ 10y agoLanguage is part of a growing mind. I'm sure you've heard the phrase "You can't teach an old dog new tricks". It is harder for adults to learn a new language because their brain has stopped growing. It takes longer for them to comprehend new material.
As per children, their minds are still growing and therefore it is easier for a children to learn new things, like language.
