Foreign-language learning is constrained not only by exposure and motivation but also by neurobiological limits and tradeoffs in how the brain represents speech, grammar, and meaning. Methods involved a structured narrative review prioritizing meta-analyses, longitudinal neuroimaging/ERP studies, and large-sample behavioral work. Results converge on several quantifiable patterns: grammar-learning ability shows a marked age-related decline after late adolescence in large-sample modeling (estimated turning point ≈ 17.4 years in one widely cited dataset). Age of acquisition effects appear robust even when bilingualism is controlled, with a factorial design study (n=80) reporting major age effects and minimal bilingualism effects on ultimate attainment. Neuroplastic changes occur in adults but often recruit control-related circuitry: a one-year longitudinal structural MRI study of Chinese university students showed gray matter volume reductions in left anterior cingulate cortex and right inferior frontal gyrus, with correlation between age of acquisition and volumetric change (r=0.595). Working memory shows a reliable, small-to-moderate relationship with L2 outcomes across large meta-analyses (ρ≈.255; and r≈.300 for L2 reading). Sleep supports consolidation of newly learned foreign words, including implicit measures; immersive learning environments can modulate this consolidation. The discussion integrates these findings into a practical neurocognitive framework: L2 learning difficulty spikes when phonological category formation, proceduralized grammar, and interference control compete for limited neural and cognitive resources, especially in learners with weaker working memory or reading-language vulnerabilities.
