Response in English: It is generally recommended that children begin learning a second language as early as possible. Research shows that the optimal age for language acquisition is during the critical period, from birth to around age 7, when the brain is most receptive to learning languages. However, it is never too late to start learning a second language, and children and adults of all ages can successfully learn a new language with dedication and consistent practice. .
