• Relatively easily?

    Lolol

    Took me 4 years to fully master English as a very young child, you’d probably struggle with trying to learn a language as an adult lol.

    Edit: I mean I knew a few words within weeks, and the very very basics in 1 year, but takes 4 years to be like: “Oh I guess I’m a native now”, is what I’m saying

      I can have a 2-hour-long conversation in Finnish, German, English, Ukrainian, Latvian, Estonian, Polish, Swedish, Spanish, Russian, Dutch and Lithuanian.

      I do not think you’re right in your claim that I’d struggle learning one more language as an adult.

      It’s also a myth that children learn languages faster. It takes them about 5 or 6 years to learn their native language at a level we adults would call “fluent”. An adult can do the same in some two years if they have an active approach to the learning.

      There is a technique about learning languages. Learn that and learning languages becomes quick.
