A language isolate is like a language that doesn't have any brothers or sisters; it's the only one of its kind and doesn't come from a family of languages. People speak it just like any other language, but it doesn't have any relatives that we know of, like how English and Spanish are related because they both come from the Latin language family.

Spanish is a language that people speak in many countries, like Spain and Mexico, and it helps them talk to each other. It has its own special words and sounds, just like how English has words like 'hello' and 'goodbye'.
