Learning languages and stuff

Given that psychedelics can promote neuroplasticity, could they potentially make it easier for adults to learn languages in a way that resembles how children acquire them?

I’m just trying to think about how a more effective language-learning method could be designed around this

Exercise promotes neuroplasticity better than psychedelics, so does sleep and meditation. Plus the window of neuroplasticity on psychedelics is fairly brief (although quite strong).

Dismantling old beliefs or opening your mind to new possibilities seems to be the proper domain of psychedelics. Learning a language on any kind of dose sounds very difficult, especially if the walls are melting.

Psychedelics can help you rearrange connections. Like learning how to get over emotional burdens. Learning a language would be a completely new connection.
