You get into an argument (in a friendly way) with some of your friends at a party. They say that language learning is just like learning any other kind of information, but you want to argue that at least some aspects of language learning are innate, in the sense that we are born with certain special abilities to hear, learn, and even (among groups of people) to create new languages.
