Like other languages English is always changing, but it changes very slowly People invent new words, borrow words from other languages, and changes the meaning of words as
needed For example, the English word byte was invented by computer specialists in 1959 The word tomato was borrowed from Nahuatl, an American Indian language spoken in Mexico The word meat one referred to food in general People learn English as well as
languages by listening, copying what they hear, and using the language Most schoolchildren learn their first language easily- and sometimes other languages as well
