When they reach the age between10 and 12 years old, they reach the linguistic puberty. At this important stage, if a child hasn’t formed the ability of speaking, it is nearly impossible for the child to obtain a language, which is known in many case of wolf – children in foreign countries (Zhao and Wang, 2002:248).

It is just accompanied by native community awareness that their personal awareness begins. Based on these points, we can see that physiological and psychological factors have great advantages for the children to learn another language systematically.
