No idea what planet you live on, but a human child is never fluent by the age of 3...

Also, they learn by hearing the same words over and over again - parents don't have full blown conversations with them to help them learn... again, that may depend if you are from another planet or not. There is a reason most English-native kids say 'mama' or 'dada' as their first words - it's all they hear for the first few months!
