The Natural Process of Speaking a language!

You will probably speak the language if you listen to it every day. A baby who was born in Thailand surely speaks Thai language. Other was born in America, he will absolutely speak English. The baby hear and listen to people talk everyday and he himself slowly catch up the words and their meanings, then he immitate to say those words again and again. Therefore, he will speak the language of the country he was born in.

Is this the same process of learning English to those ESL learners? I think it would be not much different. If you do the right way of learning a language, we can use it in communication when we need to have conversation in that language.

that seems to be the most logical and natural way to learn a language. the way your momma taught you your own language – by just talking to you. it's just that an american-born child for example, is exposed to the language , like , 24/7 (so by his/her 5th year, he has had like an average of 30 000 hours of English ) whereas the total time esl learners in other countries are exposed to english, is just a couple of hours a day (say 2-3 hours a day, which makes it 3 000-5 000 hours in 5 years); and these are the most motivated ones, ok
