do adults overthink language learning compared to kids?

I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately. people always say “learn like a child”
but i feel like adults physically can’t do that.

kids just repeat things, don’t care if they sound wrong, don’t overanalyze.
they just speak. meanwhile I catch myself overthinking every sentence, checking grammar in my head, hesitating before saying anything. and i’m starting to wonder if that’s actually slowing me down more than helping.

is being analytical an advantage or is it just fear dressed up as “learning properly”??

do you try to push through and speak anyway, or focus more on accuracy first?
