Adult learners have strong advantages over children that put them in an excellent position to speak another language

Advantage: You already speak one language fluently

You have a better understanding of reading, speaking and understanding. This would serve as a foundation on which you can compare a foreign language to. When you learn a new word you would already know the English equivalent and when and where to use it. This prior knowledge means you are building your language rather than a first-time discovery.
