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?

      Bud I don’t think it’s because Spanish is harder or whatever it’s because English speakers generally are pretty content not to learn another language…
