Depends on One's Stage and Purpose

Language learning starts from input, and practice. Babies learn their languages little by little, by being taught and corrected. Polishing one's language is a life-long criterion even for our native languages.
Moreover, in language learning, searching and asking is more important than thinking and agonizing to solve a problem by ourselves, at least until later stages.
Unfortunately, it isn't really ready to teach a language to foreign learners yet. In cases with similar languages to one's own, it is easier to teach or learn, but we, humankind, need a deeper understanding of grammar.


学習レベルと目的次第
言語学習はインプットから始まります。それと練習です。子どもは言葉を少しずつ、教わったり直されたりしながら学びます。母国語であっても、言葉を磨くのは一生涯の課題です。
さらに、言語学習においては、調べたり質問したりすることの方が、自力で解決しようと頭をひねって考えあぐねることより(少なくとも、もっと後の段階までは)大切です。
残念ながら、言語を母国語としない人に教えることは、まだ教える側であまり準備ができていません。似たような言語間であればまだ簡単に教えたり学んだりできますが、私たち人類はもっと文法への理解を深める必要があります。

(It) Depends on One's Stage and Purpose

Polishing one's language is a life-long criterionendeavor even for our native languages.

To me, "criterion" seems to mean something like "something upon which judgements can be made."
Criterion also seems to carry the meaning of "requirement," so perhaps you used this word to carry the nuance that polishing language is something we must do, but it's a slightly unnatural word choice in this case.

Moreover, in language learning, searching and asking is more important than thinking and agonizing to solve a problem by ourselves, at least until later stages.

Unfortunately, it islanguage experts aren't really ready to teach a language to foreign learners yet.

The referent of "it" is unclear here. Perhaps you meant something like this?

In cases with similar languages similar to one's own, it is easier to teach or learn, but we, humankind, need a deeper understanding of grammar.

This may seem like a case where an adjective is following a noun, but I think this construction is an abbreviation of "languages (that are) similar to."

One of the things we study in psychology is language acquisition, in particular children learning their native language. It's really interesting stuff. Although our native languages merit more profound study than what we learn from our parents, it's still amazing how quickly kids pick up the language.

Thanks for the helpful explanations. :) Right, someone was saying children's brains are like a sponge readily absorbing information.

Language Learning Depends on One's StageLevel and Purpose

Stage is fine, but I think "level" could be clearer for the topic name!

Language learning starts fromwith input, and practice.

Babies learn their languages little by little, by being taught and corrected.

Polishing one's language is a life-long criterionhallenge even for our native languages.

One's language and native languages are referring to the same thing, so you can actually make this sentence more succinct: Polishing even one's own native language is a lifelong challenge.

Moreover, in language learning, searching and asking others is more important than thinking and agonizing to solve a problem by ourselves, at least until the later stages.

Other option: Moreover, when learning a language, searching and asking questions is more important than trying to figure out things by ourselves, at least until the later stages.

Unfortunately, it isn't really readymany teachers are not well-equipped to teach atheir language to foreign learners yetnon-native students.

I checked your Japanese entry to help correct this sentence.

In cases with similar languages to one's own, it is easier to teach or learn, but we, humankind, need a deeper understanding of grammar.

More natural: It is easier to teach or learn languages similar to our native one, but we all need a deeper understanding of grammar. I think stating "humans" here is a bit unnecessary so to make it more natural I suggest to remove it ^^

Good writing and topic! For you, what's your "stage" and purpose for learning English? 😊
