	Second language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		According to some researchers, the defining difference between a first language and a second language is the age in which the language was acquired.
		For example, linguist Eric Lenneberg used second language to mean a language consciously learned or used by its speaker after puberty.
		In most cases, people never achieve the same level of fluency and comprehension in their second languages as in their first language.

	Understanding BROCA
		In the case of brain lateralization, it is the phenomenon in which the brain “decides” that it is its left side, which will be more directly responsible for the language functions than the right side.
		This specialisation of the left hemisphere for the language functions usually starts around the ages of 4 and finishes at the age of 10, (Lenneberg, 1967).
		Scientists think that the areas of speech production and comprehension are the ones more strongly perceived in the brain due to the fact that speaking and understanding speech are the skills humans master longer.
