N.B. Bill Sloman misused "learned" instead of "learnt". N.B. he
misused "it's" instead of "its" (in
"Russia has spent the last four years inching it's way
into the Ukraine from the borders with Russia,and it has made some progress,
but it has been very slow and very expensive"

Sorry.

This is not an entirely untrue myth. I simultaneously used to study
many more languages as a child than as an adult.

|----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|"Adults can learn a new language in much less time than a                   |
|child, provided they are motivated and immersed. Those are                  |

|----------------------------------------------------------------------------|

Motivations and immersion are not sufficient. I used to be an immersed
adult with much more meaningful motivations to learn languages as an
adult than I used to have as a child. Children do not want to learn
languages but they do learn them.
