What is Second language?
A '''second language''' is a [[language]] that a person learns in addition to their [[mother tongue|first language]]. A second language may be learned in a formal or informal way, such as at [[school]] or in a [[family]]. A person may speak two or more second languages. Adults do not learn languages the same way that children do. Learning a second language is difficult for adults, who rarely speak it as well as their native language because it is much easier for children to learn a second language. Some children have native [[multilingualism]] and so speak several languages, such as by living in a foreign country or having a father speaking a different language from their mother. ==Other websites== *[http://www.asha.org/public/speech/development/second/ Asha] == References == {{reflist}} {{stub}} [[Category:Language education]]
