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