 In the exploration of the linguistic life circle, it is apparent that it is much more difficult to learn a second language in adulthood than a first language in childhood. Most adults never completely master a foreign language, especially in phonology - hence the foreign accent. Their development often 'fossilizes' into permanent error patterns that no teaching or correction can undo. Of course there are great individual differences, which depend on effort, attitudes, amount of exposure, quality of teaching, and plain talent, but there seems to be a cap for the best adults in the best circumstances.
 Many explanations have been advanced for children's superiority: they exploit the simplified, repetitive conversation between parents and children, make errors unselfconsciously, are more motivated to communicate, like to conform, are not set in their ways, and have no first language to, interfere. But some of these accounts are unlikely, based on what is known about how language acquisition works. Recent evidence is calling these social and motivation explanations into doubt Holding every other factor constant, a key factor stands out] sheer age. Systematic evidence comes from the psychologist Elissa Newport and her colleagues.
