When It Comes to Learning Language, Age Isnt Just A Number
Learning a second language is tough. You have to consider grammar, pronunciation, and, sometimes, words that don\u2019t even exist in your native language. And the conventional wisdom had been: if you want a child to learn a second language, start them as young as possible. But a new study has found that there\u2019s a little more leeway than we originally thought. We talk with Boston College assistant psychology professor Joshua Hartshorne about his and his colleagues\u2019 research and what it means for aspiring hyperpolyglots.
