Adult speakers of one language usually find it difficult to produce the sounds of a
foreign language that are not present in their native language. There are numerous
reasons for this, including the fact that adults lose articulatory flexibility after long
years of producing only the speech sounds of their own language. A classic example
of this is the general difficulty that native Japanese speakers have in producing
many English sounds.
