Research has shown that the process used by children learning a language works up until approximately the age of 12. After that structural comprehension is required in order to learn a language. There are some adult exceptions, but in terms of understanding they don't "learn" the language, they learn to mimic phrases applied to certain situations. They couldn't tell you the first thing about the language and how its grammar is structured, to give just one example.
