“Earlier is Better In Second Language Learning.”
Language
acquisition begins very early in the human lifespan. Children
can learn languages easily because their cortex is more plastic than that of
older learners. And there is a Critical Period Hypothesis stated after
lateralization, the brain loses plasticity in language learning. Therefore, due
to the brain development, critical period, and other social factors, the earlier
children learn a second language, the higher level or proficiency they will
attain in the future.

“Dream on the stage –Bottom’s Midsummer Night’s Dream.”
A dream is all wrong, absurd, composite, and yet at the same time it is
completely right: put together in this strange way it makes reality. Seeing is
not always believing. What Bottom chooses to believe becomes his reality. His
construction of reality bases on reason not on experience. By this way Bottom is
foolish by reality and his believing.
