How Do People Learn to Speak Different Languages?

Imagine your brain is like a muscle. When you learn a new language, it's like doing a workout, and every time you practice speaking or listening, the muscle gets stronger. Language learning starts with hearing sounds and trying to copy them, just like babies who repeat what they hear. Over time, this becomes easier, and soon you're able to talk, read, and even think in that new language!
