Like other laguages, English is always changing, but it changes very slowly. People invent new words, borrow words from other laguages and change the meaning of words as needed. For example, the English word "byte" was invented by computer specialist in 1959. The word "tomato" was borrowed from Nahuati, an American Indian laguage spoken in Mexico. The word :"meat" once referred to food in general. People learn English as well as languages by listening, coppying what they hear, and using the laguage. Most school children learn their first language easily and sometimes other laguages as well.
