Adults try to lean a new langauge like a baby acquire language It is well know that children acquire language quickly, easily, and without effort or formal teaching. It happens automatically, whether their parents try to teach them or not. Why cann't adults try to lean a new langauge like a baby acquire a language. Personally,I think we should follow the steps used by babies. Firstly, we should learn words or sentences in language envronment whether listining or reading.Try to expose us to the language environment .It would be better if we can regularly interacting with speakers of those languages. For all normal children who grow up in normal households, surrounded by conversation, will acquire the language that is being used around them. Secondly,don't fear to make any mistakes . As with babies,.you will also make many mistakes learning a new language, but remember, it takes a baby a number of years to become proficient and up to 30 years to have a full vocabulary. To become completely proficient will take you a number of years as well. Its impossible to learn a new language overnight so don't be hard on yourself if you make a lot of mistakes in the beginning. Make learning the new language fun and it will become easier to learn. The last but not the least ,we must often use what we learn to both speaking and writting.Children who are never spoken to will not acquire language. And the language must be used for interaction with the child; for example, a child who regularly hears language on the TV or radio but nowhere else will not learn to talk.
