Young children's ability to learn new languages seem like a superpower, especially to those trying as an adult.  How do they accomplish this amazing feat?  I discuss with my guest Julia Hershensohn (Department of Linguistics at The University of Washington), the developmental process that children go though in acquiring new languages and compare that to the way that adults do it.
