CHildren learn their primary language like any child in any culture- from their person speaking it. They mimic the sounds they hear. So for us to do the same, we must listen not same sounds over and over. And words. as well.

Yet, at some times, I do also find, that: it can be easier, as well. Sometimes I, personally, find them easier to understand; &, there are also, sometimes, I find it harder to understand. I should note that, when children are from another culture; &, are speaking another language; and, I'm encountering them, in person, without the benefit of subcaptions on a screen, translating the meaning of their words; &, ->if, their culture is so foreign to me, or, their personal actions seem so stramge to me, that: I do not understand their behaviors; &, if. I do not have any context at all to understand what is going on, then, it is a hard task for me to interpret what they're saying. This would also be compiunded if the child had some disability; or, was doing something massively illogical to me; or, when the kids are simply far too young. These conditions are usually not the case, so, most of the time, I don't have much trouble understanding when kids speak. One example is if children are speaking; and/or, are operating in their motions; &, choices; &, expressions; &, goings on; &, about, in: extremely rapid, disorganized, disconnected, randomized, chaotic, discombobulated, wily-nily, mix-up/shook-up ways. Once again, thiugh, since this is usually not the case, of what I encounter; &, since I try to avoid running into such families; &, their kids; I do -->>Not often, struggle, with trying to understand children, in any language, in general; overall. P.S.: I shoukd add one big point though, is: that when I can think like the child is thinking, which is quite often the case; &, more and more so, when I am feeling healthier; &, I have more life experience usable as valuable interpretive regerence material; then, my tasks are made all that much easier. If I could just could not fathom what a kid was up to, then, commensurately, my chores of deciphering what they were: "on about"; would be immensely harder. In the case of Japanese kids, this does ->not seem to occur as a struggle for me, that frequently. Quite often; &, fairly quickly, I can figure out, what they're doing; and/or, what they mean. I have enough background knowledge; study; context; familiarity; predictabity; repeatability; reliability; conventionality; conformity; usual-ness; ordinary-ness; &, simpleness; that it does appear, not all that difficult for me to integrate into my own frameworks of comprehending the world around me; even, as through their "eyes". One exception to that, thiugh, is: that Japanese kids, can be quite natural; &, relaxed, when at home; &, around family. But, when around: "outsiders"; their mannerisms radically alter; &, their actions, can become, even, for me; much harder to interpret.

She sounds like what my brain is doing when i'm 'thinking' in Japanese . . . my mother was a Japanese navy wife, and i started speaking Japanese first. But she was told that i must stop speaking Japanese when i started kindergarten because if i continued to speak Japanese in the home i'd never learn English (that was the belief then). So in my head, i'm stuck at that age. i've taken many classes starting in community college, with decades of pauses, then at university level. i haven't had my mom to practise with since she died right after i graduated high school, and i never went to the extra Japanese school we had here (and never asked, as i never wanted my parents to waste money on me; i didn't realise that they probably had the money!) that other half-Japanese kids i knew went to; i assumed if we could've afforded it i would've went. In formal Japanese class i have to work hard to remember to use -ます and -です forms because everything i remember is automatically 'informal'. i know a lot more grammar and structures now (obviously) and if i know the vocabulary, i can assemble the sentences pretty easily. It's remembering vocabulary i have trouble with. Apparently some of the words i use automatically (i don't think in words, but in pictures, so when i speak any language i have to translate from images to words - sometimes it's english, sometimes it's japanese, sometimes it's ASL. On bad migraine or autistic overload days my verbal language locks up and ends up often japanese when i get it loose!) are dated or dialect (i use きゅう, しっさ, and し automatically when counting, and おむすび - i don't know if it matters but my mom was from Kyūshū) and i get funny looks from teachers. i keep wondering why UCSD doesn't consider Japanese to be a heritage language, considering what a Navy town San Diego is. i am going to check into your classes!
