If a correct answer doesn't make sense to you, the problem is in your understanding rather than in the answer.

Concentration is required to memorize-focus.

What is "memorize-focus"? Memorizing is one thing, focusing is another. And I already asked you once--are *you* incapable of duplicating any behavior that you've witnessed without deliberately concentrating on it?

Then how does the baby
learn words and basic grammer by age three when they are too young to
focus narrowly?

Because they don't have to focus narrowly. Your premise is incorrect. That's the answer, whether you believe it or not.

How do they get all the words when adults studying  a foreign language
must go over and over vocabulary lists to remember anything?

Ipso facto, children and adults learn in different ways. That's the answer.

This seems to me a reasonable question.  It's not to play with the list,
as some insulting person wrote when I posted it before, and nobody is
selling anything.

How much more effort would you expect people to devote to giving you correct answers to your question if you are going to reject them because they don't meet your criteria?
