MIT Scientists Prove Adults Learn Language to Fluency Nearly as Well as Children
11th May 2019
In a nutshell, this team found that if you start learning a language before the age of 18, you have a much better likelihood of obtaining a native-like mastery of the language’s grammar than if you start later. This is a much older age than has been generally assumed and is really interesting for reasons I’ll get into a bit later.
I question the characterization of 18-year-olds as ‘adults’ but it’s still interesting.
