Learning does not stop but keeps on to eternity. It is a continuous process that continues from childhood to adulthood. Learning starts from home and to the outside world. In homes, homes, our parents always teach us how to adapt to many situations and how to relate to things around us. We have learned how to prepare dishes, which is still part of learning. That does not stop there, we also learned how to speak our languages.

Just like a child lens how to crawl, after which the child learns how to stand. After standing, there is every tendency for the child to learn how to walk. Remember that all these are possible just because of the parent's support. Learning, therefore, continues which in turn proceed to the aspects of Learning how to speak which is how to talk.

The child only learns the language that the parents are speaking while still a child, but learns other languages after mingling with his or her mates. The child learns how to speak with his/her friends the languages that the parents cannot even understand. This means learning begins from home and from our parents to the outside world.

The language the child learns and understands is the mother tongue. The mother's language is always the number one because he or she is always staying glued with the mum and communicates better with her.

I want to sight an instant: One of the primary school teachers in my school whose mum is from a different language from the dad. The dad is from Ibo while the mother is from Yoruba. They both speak different languages except for English which is our general language right here in Nigeria. One faithful day, an Ibo man saw her and was speaking Ibo with her but to my surprise, she could not understand how to speak his father's language.

It was like an embarrassment to her. She only knew how to speak her mother's language just because, the land they are living in is the mum's land, and they always speak the mother's language in the house. We should all know that, despite the father been from another language, he will find certain to learn the wife's language, so as the children.

So, learning does not stop, as many people are ready to learn other languages from other countries. This is because they need it to communicate with people from such languages.

Learning does not stop, as we learn every day about different things and around the world. We go to school to learn formal education, as the education we learn at home is informal type. So, to adapt to the general world, we learn formal education to make our lives bright and to know the different happenings in the world at large.

Learning does not stop, as even a child can teach you what he or she knows or has learned, of which you are lacking. This means we learn every day, and what we learned is either educative or non-educative. Children nowadays learn what is good and what is bad. They only need to be told the repercussions of the bad things they have learned. This will make them know the difference between good and bad.

Learning does not stop but continues to the aspect of learning handiwork which will bring forth success to humanities. We learn how to succeed in life and also how to make things happen in life. Life itself is WORTH learning as learning life's experience is the best we should have in life.

Learning does not end but remains until eternity. Even the olds still learn and even learn more to make life prolong for them.

Learning does no end but keeps moving along...

There is a prompt word given out by @JonicaBradley which I am going to take part of. This one is just a stepping stone to writing the prompt word, LANGUAGE

Of course, learning is continuous process that takes place throughout the course of am individual's life. However, as a linguist, I want to call your attention to something you said about children learning the language their parents speak. The correct term to use is acquire. One does not learn a Mother Tongue. Rather, one acquires it. Any other language after that is learned or partly acquired.

Well said. Though we learn to apply, but learning in itself is a delight.

I understand your friend's situation. I mean being able to speak the mother's language and not the dad's.

As kids most learning is done without our consciousness. The Children simply adapt to what is paramount in a given environment.

I have cousins who aren't fluent in any Nigerian Language, because the mum is my aunt that's from my state and the dad is Igbo. Then they stay in Lagos.

The mum and dad mostly communicate using English and that's what they can speak well.

As for Yoruba, the language of the people of their land of residence, Igbo, the dad's language and Ibibio the mum's language, they do try to speak it, but they are far from from fluency.

And yeah! Learning never stops.

Language has been and will always be an important part of our lives. With time I realised that language is not something you learn but you actually absorb with time. By staying around the speakers of a language, you at some point begin to understand them without explanation. Unlike the conventional schools where they teach you the meaning of each words and reach you translation. This method is usually uneffective and unnatural. Language should be absorbed not learnt.
