It's pretty reasonable ... when you are young your brain is still capable of memorizing huge Number of words ... u dont hear for exmple anything but english u dont try to speak anything but english .. parents help u, u take words from them and memorize them spontaneously ..then surely when u are 3 or 4 you start to talk =)

well for me, i began to learn in secondary school, and till then the only English word i know was "thank you". then my teachers first of all taught me the importance of English and consequently other languages. In Turkish we have a phrase "Bir dil bir insan, iki dil iki insan" which means "One language one person, two languages two persons" indicating the importance and advantages of having foreign languages. this was the best motivation for me to learn the language. Thus while my friends were seeing English study as a (sort of) torture, i liked it. and as when you like to do something, that will not seem so difficult to you and you can spend more effort on such things you like, i did the same. and now, i dont say my English is perfect but it is enough to communicate with most native English speakers. To sum up, i would recommend you to find a really encouraging motivation to study the language, and dont see it as a burden. Remember what Montaigne said : "I believe (think) the joys that will eventually bring sorrow can be avoided, and the sorrows that will eventually bring joy can be beared". I also recommend to practice (to speak as much as you can, to read English books, newspapers, magazines etc, to listen music and watch movies with and without subtitles) after learning the basics in order to improve your language skills :)

It's the same as in your country. Children learn a language from their parents. A child's first word is usually ma-ma [ mother] or da-da [ father]

Amr you are looking for a date.
