Normally, when someone learns a new language later in life, they cannot get the accent just right.

Only babies and small children get it right. I believe this is because their hard palates are not yet hardened and so their speech shapes it.

Of course, there are always those geniuses who can learn any language at any age and be perfect at it!

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
