Do we have advantages as adult language learners
compared with children?
Mostly, people believe that children have more benefits in learning English than adults have. However, adults do have some advantages, too.
First, they already know one language (and sometimes more than one) quite well, so they have practiced with the linguistic capacities that speed language acquisition. Second, when it comes to reading texts, adult learners are aware of using reading strategies and skills while children are not.
Therefore, we should not be surprised at the fact that adult learners achieve basic proficiency in learning English more rapidly than children.
