There are various myths about language acquisition. One of them is the myth that it is easier to assimilate a new language at a young age. We frequently hear statements such as children absorb new languages ​​like sponges. Because they think that children learn languages ​​easily, many people take it for granted that it is best to feed them new languages ​​at a very young age. It is not uncommon for children to learn more than one language during their preschool years. , often in homes where one parent communicates in one language with the child while the other parent uses another, it is easier for the child to assimilate the language (McLaughlin, 1977). Research shows that children with satisfactory knowledge of multiple languages ​​can develop each language at a pace and in a method that is in many ways similar to the growth of monolingual children learning only one of those languages. When children actually acquire two languages ​​in early childhood, they must divide their learning time between the languages. It is often assumed that a child has a volume of language that the adult has lost (Jakobovits, 1972). Early bilingualism revealed that although children can acquire languages ​​from a young age, they may be unable to remember them. When children work many hours away from their parents, they may demonstrate what is called subtractive bilingualism (Lambert, 1974). In this case, when their second language (L2) replaces their mother tongue (L1), they may lose the ability to converse with members of their own family (Wong Fillmore, 1991). The role of first language (L1) information in second language (L2) acquisition is well recognized, and the growth of second language knowledge...... middle of article... ...to understand more language structures, which is why professionals say that each new language learned is easier than the last. Previous research has found that bilingualism promotes the development of executive control in children (Bialystok, 2001; Carlson & Meltzoff, 2008). In conclusion, people can acquire a language without difficulty when they are young, because many older people say from time to time that they are too old to learn another language. They cannot remember words or sayings even after hundreds of repetitions. It's difficult for them, but while it's quite different for young children, when they are young they have the most unlimited capacity to learn. Their brains are like sponges ready to absorb knowledge, and as we mature, our ability to learn new things and acquire new skills diminishes. Hence the motto “you can’t show an old dog new tricks.”".”.
