 RESOURCES
A recent study about the ideal age for learning a language
fluently said people can remain skilled learners until ages 17 or 18. Monika
Schmid, a linguistics professor at the University of Essex in England, writes
that learners can become a fluent speaker of a world language at any age, and
in this commentary, she explains why she disagrees with the interpretations of
the study's findings.
