Nope language learning as an adult is way easier than as a kid, takes them a good 5-7 years to be semi fluent and they are practicing every day. This is more like if you are blind at birth from certain conditions that can be corrected if they are corrected too late you still won’t be able to see in your mind even if the eyes are sending the input forward.
