摘要

This study aims to examine the linguistic features of young children when learning a second language. Transcripts of the target child will be analyzed in terms of phonological, lexical, grammatical and communicative development. The result of this case study identified that age is strongly related to learning a foreign language and children are more likely to develop native‐like proficiency at an earlier age.
