Children aren't trying to learn a language. They are trying to communicate their needs and language is the way you do that.
If you need to communicate in a particular language, you learn it. If you just kind of think it would be nice to know another language, you probably won't really become fluent.
Of course, there will always be exceptions.
Having said that: Any tips for brushing up on my college French?
- mmarq 5y agoWe usually ignore that a child learns to say simple sentences at 3, can express simple original thoughts at 6 and is able to have a quasi-adult conversation at 15. An adult doesn't have 15 years to become half-fluent in French.
- mynameisash 5y ago> Any tips for brushing up on my college French? Find a local meetup and practice. I started with Duolingo, Harry Potter, Coffee Break French, etc., and within a year, I felt comfortable enough to go to a meetup. Even when I was just quietly listening, I improved so much, to the point that after only one year of practicing in-person (plus the year solo), I could get by in rural France. I'm guessing that no matter how rusty your college French is, you'll improve by leaps and bounds when you're with people.
