Most people think that the older you get, the harder it is to l 76 a new language. That is, they believe that c 77 learn more easily than the grown-ups. So at some points in our lives, maybe around age 12 or 13, we lose the ability to learn languages well. Is this the fact?
Is it t 78 that children learn a foreign language more easily than the grown-ups? One report, on 2,000 Danish children studying Swedish, showed that the t 79 learn more in less time than the younger children. Another report, on Americans learning Russian, showed the ability to learn increased as the age increased. T 80 are several possible explanations（解释）for these findings. F 81 _ one thing, grown-ups know more about the world and are a 82 to understand meanings more easily than children. Moreover, grown-ups can use logical thinking to help themselves in the language learning. F 83 , grown-ups have more self-discipline（自律） than children.
