It is clear that age is a crucial factor in language learning or acquisition. But to which extent age is an important factor still remains a broad question. Many factors can influence language learning: biological factors, mother tongue, intelligence, learning surroundings, emotions, motivation and last but not least: the age factor. Lenneberg's critical period hypothesis (1967) suggests that there is a biologically determined period of life when language can be acquired more easily. Beyond this time a language is more difficult to acquire.
