Annotation. This article reveals that, language acquisition has long been
topic of interest in the fields of linguistics, psychology, and education. While
childhood is often regarded as the optimal period for language learning due to

multilingualism, many adults remain reluctant or discouraged to engage in
language learning. This study aims to identify and analyze the key factors that
contribute to adults’ discouragement, focusing on cognitive limitations, affective
variables, and socio-cultural perceptions.
