Like, English is a famously difficult language, and Spanish is supposed to be easier. But babies learn English or any language instinctually.

So do babies learn faster if the native language is easier, or do they acquire language at a constant rate depending on their brain development or whatever?

    you’ve said it yourself, you didn’t use basque outside of school

    the education system acknowledges this and makes you repeat the curriculum year after year, so you can get your B2 certificate upon finishing high school

      It didn’t make me repeat the curriculum. The curriculum is the same for everyone.

      I didn’t use basque outside school, but I barely used English. Inside school, it was ~7 hours every day of basque. And ~3h per week of english.
