Piénso que sí. Yes, I think so. I'm African-American and I'm learning Spanish in my fifties. I've found that we don't realize how many slangs we Americans use. We don't really speak English, we speak American here. Every time a new trend comes along, we change the way we speak. But, when you start learning another language, you have to make sure that what you're saying is correct, so the person who is translating for you, or teaching you, can tell you how to say things correctly in the other language.
I think Americans do their children a disserviceby not having them learn at least one other language, fluently. In practically every other country in the World, people speak at least two if not three languages, from childhood. A friend of my is from Cameroon in East Africa, and he speaks five languages. (English, Spanish, French, German and Pidgin) He said he is not considered very educated in his country.
I've also found out that businesses pay very well for interpreters. I live in the Northwest, and there are businesses here that pay $30.00/for Spanish interpretors. They pay even more for Languages such as Korean, Japanese, Vietnamese, German and Russian.

Example: Your mother and father speak Spanish to you. You have learned Spanish before any other languages. That is your first language. Then, you learn English because you live in America. That is the second language you learn. That is English as (a) second language. The second language you learn is your (language) as (a) second language. I hope that helped.
French children are first taught French. The first foreign language is English, then Spanish, then German.
First language acquisition is the process by which infants and young children learn their native language naturally through exposure and interaction with speakers around them. Second language learning, on the other hand, is the process of acquiring a new language after the first language is already established, often through formal instruction or immersion in a second language environment. Second language learning typically involves more conscious effort and cognitive processing compared to first language acquisition.
I think it is when you learn a second language. Like, if you speak English as your first language, then learn to speak Spanish fluently, you acquired Spanish as your second language.
Learning a second language was difficult.

Any language you learn after your first (native) language is considered a second language. There is no specific one.
My experience of meeting Romanians is that if their first language is Romanian they learn French as a second language but if their first language is Hungarian they learn German.

how to improve french language.
Your first language is your mother tongue, the language your mother spoke to you as a child. Your second language is the next language you learn either as a child or as an adult.
English usage changes over time but to improve your English first, emulate proper language and second, be willing to have someone correct you that knows the language well. A child learns correct language by positive criticism and encouragement.
Easier to learn: Second-generation programming languages are easier to learn than first-generation languages. They are closer to human language and are more intuitive

Understanding how we most naturally learn language (how we learned our first language) helps understand the nature of language learning. The more you can mimic this process in teaching a second language, the better.It also helps the teacher understand ways learning a second language is unlike learning one's first.
yes- he was the first and only US President to learn English as a second language.
