Because Dutch and English are both indo-european languages, while Chinese isn't?
Japanese then. Or Swahili. It's just an example OK
Yet kids in Finland manage to learn it just as fast as any other language.
Kids learn in absolute saturation and don't learn the same way anyway; this is proven by how they can easily learn two "first" languages at once (but get annoyed if the same people switch between them a lot) and learn every language's grammar features in the same way. I don't have the source for this, though.
