Mostly because they block themselves with strange fears and due bad teaching, the "fear" of a test, the lack of fun, the "constriction", all block adults learning new language. Pick an over 30, overloaded with (often) frustrating work, and give her an university level course in languages with grammars and/or alphabets completly different from those she uses (yesss, I am thinking of a woman, my wife...) like Arab (alphabet and some grammar) and Turkish (its grammar sound lispish to my ears), and she'll go ahead without "fatigue" and with flying colours. Children pick up other language without any conscious effort because either they learn it by using with parents, relatives and friends or they are involved in a game-like style of learning. Why else hacker prize fun this much ? :) :) T> I know people who find all kinds of vehicles easy to learn but T> never mastered a bicycle (despite trying). People, plural, as in T> more than one of them. Again, fear, or maybe, some malfunction in the balancing organs. But fear mainly. You do not see what keeps a bike upright and running, you have to trust that you can. You can walk on a 4 inch wide stripe on a floor without problems, but when it is a 4 inch wide bar some feet over the floor... -- /\ ___ /___/\_|_|\_|__|___Gian Uberto Lauri_____ //--\| | \| | Integralista GNUslamico \/ e coltivatore diretto di Software A Cesare avrei detto di scrivermi a [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
