Critical Period
There is no exact age, however we talk about
this critical period since at different moments
of learning, such as relative clauses that take
several years to learn, we learn new words all
our lives!

language deprivation
If a child has a mother from Malaysia and his father is Russian, he will be able to learn these two languages, but if apart from this the child moves to Mexico while in preschool, he will also learn Spanish.
