  • One of the biggest fallacies in language learning today is the idea that only young kids can learn new languages, and that, once you've reached a certain age, you shouldn't even bother learning a new language. Unfortunately, many of us believe this because we've observed this first hand. We learned a language when we were young, or we know someone who grew up with more than one language, but when we try to learn a new language as adults, it seems to be a never-ending process with no improvement..
  • This Course demonstrates A) why this fallacy is incorrect and B) how you can learn a new language at any age!.
