A survey from the United States. In the first half of the second year of junior high school, children's vocabulary grows slowly, and they can learn about 8 new words every month. But after 2 years old, children's vocabulary began to explode. By the age of 6, the average child has mastered 14000 words. Assuming that the development of vocabulary really begins around 18 months, then on average, 9 new words will be learned every day.

This shows that children have extraordinary talent in learning languages. This talent began at the age of 2, until the late childhood, and the speed began to slow down. By teenagers and adults, this language ability basically disappeared.

Therefore, children's language learning has a critical period. After the critical period, language learning is not only more difficult, but also the final language level is lower.
