While I agree in principle, there are things that are much harder for adults to learn -- like perfect pitch. Perhaps children are much more immersed into the activity than adults. I recently stopped all cartoons for my 2.5 year old daughter, at the recommendation of her educator and multiple therapists because she only ate when watching cartoons -- but if she ate normally, I wouldn't do so -- she picked up english(not her primary language) words and idioms and little songs because she enjoyed the cartoons so much. Would I pick japanse words and phrases if I watched cartoons as easily as her? Perhaps, if I was as interested and enthralled.
