Like, English is a famously difficult language, and Spanish is supposed to be easier. But babies learn English or any language instinctually.

So do babies learn faster if the native language is easier, or do they acquire language at a constant rate depending on their brain development or whatever?

    Also Bulgarian, but I know some Bulgarians that just write with Latin letters because it’s quicker, given that they live in a Latin alphabet country.

      It is not quicker to type Bulgarian in Latin quite the opposite. There are sounds in Bulgarian that using the Cyrillic alphabet are represented using one letter, where as with the Latin alphabet you need 2 or in one case 3 щ = sht.

      Usually people that write with Latin are just lazy to switch keyboards.

        Yes, I’m sorry. I meant it’s quicker because they don’t have to switch keyboard layout, not because they save keystrokes
