Learn a language-you need to know

 

学习语言必备

 

Ignore the myths:age is just a number

 

无视那些迷思：年龄只是数字

 

You are a monolingual adult: have you missed the language boat? Ralby argues "a key language myth is that it's harder as an adult".

 

Adults and children may learn in different waysbut that shouldn't deter you from committing to learning another language.

 

"Languages are simultaneously organic and systematic. As children we learn languages organically and instinctively; asadults we can learn them systematically."

 

If you're still not convinced of your chances,Ralby suggests drawing inspiration from early philologists and founders of linguistics who "learned dozens of languages to encyclopaedic levels asadults".
