How to acquire a language sense?. I would like to know how to acquire a language sense, when you are adult. I have read many articles about language sense on some website. They say that it is almost impossible for us to acquire a language sense when we has passed our critical period for language acquisition. I find those articles quite truth. Use this English article as an example, I can't tell grammar errors in my article or which word I can use to make my sentence sound better but it is another case when it comes to Chinese article. I can tell my grammar error and which word I should use to make my sentence sound powerful. If they were truth, then how a study institution trained their students who wanted to work as an interpreter in the future?.
