Children’s natural ability to acquire new languages is strong before adolescence. Pronunciation comes more easily, and vocabulary sticks during this time. In fact, linguists don’t say that children learn a language but that they acquire it. You don’t really need to teach young kids a language because they will pick it up. They learn implicitly rather than explicitly.
