Can foreign babies speak English naturally?

Perhaps for many of us, the most painful thing in school is learning English. When I was at school, I used to envy foreign children. I think they should speak English when they are born. I think it is good that they can master English skillfully.

It was not until I grew up that I discovered that my childhood thoughts were too naive. Even in a country whose mother tongue is English, no child can speak English at birth. Their spoken English also comes from their acquired language environment, just as we grew up in a Chinese environment. Regarding language learning, I personally have the following two views:

First, language cannot be born. None of us is born with language ability. We learn our mother tongue and the languages of other countries through continuous learning the day after tomorrow.

For people who can skillfully use multiple languages, we may envy each other very much, but we don't know the efforts and time that each other has made in the process of learning languages.

Therefore, even foreign children have long expected to learn English in an English-speaking environment after birth.

Second, the hard work of the day after tomorrow can surpass talent. In the process of learning a language, it is undeniable that some people have language talent, which can make themselves efficient and relaxed in the learning process!

But this doesn't mean that those of us who have no talent can't learn foreign languages. On the contrary, as long as we have perseverance and perseverance, we can gradually accumulate foreign language knowledge through our own efforts. One day, we will surpass those talented people and realize the curve overtaking in language learning.

Therefore, from the above description, it seems that foreign children are not born to speak foreign languages as we thought. By referring to the children around you, you can understand the process of learning to speak; If you are a foreign child born in China, you may speak both Chinese and English, which is the advantage of the language environment.
