Imagine your brain is like a toy box, some people have more toys (or more space) to store new languages. When they learn a second language, it's like adding another toy without making the rest fall out. Others might need to rearrange their whole box just to fit one extra toy in.
Examples
- A child growing up with parents who speak Spanish at home and English at school learns both easily.
- A teacher who switches between French and English when talking to students finds it natural.
- A teen who plays video games in Japanese starts understanding the language without studying.
