Language Aquisition

When your linguistic skills exist they influence
the process of learning a new language, this is
known as "language transfer"

If a child has a mother from Malaysia and his father is Russian, he will be able to learn these two languages, but if apart from this the child moves to Mexico while in preschool, he will also learn Spanish.

There is no exact age, however we talk about
this critical period since at different moments
of learning, such as relative clauses that take
several years to learn, we learn new words all
our lives!

I teach a child the word Went
Then I taught him Played and the Ed rule
the boy comes saying Goed

basic children's talk

babies

exposed to
sign languages

they babble in
sign language

They say their first word
or 2 at one year of age

Adults want their
baby's babbling to make sense.

If the baby performs an action and adds a
word like "grab" and saying cookie, it is close
to saying "I want cookie" (two-word phase)

Babies pay attention when
they notice something new

a study that shows us if a baby is paying attention to something that seems interesting, showing from the
moment he sucks the pacifier faster if he is entertained
or if he is bored he sucks it slower or stops sucking it
