HOW WE LEARN A LANGUAGE
The first language you learn to speak is called your native language As a baby, you listened to your parents or other people speaking and then imitated the sounds you heard Babies seem to be born with an ability to learn the language they hear
Native speakers learn as children to use the right words and arrange them in the right order without
even thinking about it If English is your native language, you know automatically that “I going bed” is wrong, but “I am going to bed” is right
If you learn a second language, you have to memorize its words and learn its rules That’s why learning a second language can be difficult
Young children can learn a new language very easily If they are surrounded by people speaking a
different language, they soon learn to speak it as well as their native language
