Humans Learning Language


How do humans learn language?

Humans start learning language from when they are first born, even before they were at birth they listen to their mothers when they are in their wombs. Babies start developing language when they interact with others; they use sounds and random words to create a certain way of talking to others (e.g.” gagaga”, “waga”, “waaah” etc.) after a certain stage they slowly grow into a word.

 The word  “Water” they first try to mimic by using “gaga” it has the exact same amount of syllables (2. Wa-ter ga-ga) after a certain amount of weeks the baby will start to change the way they say it closer to the word “water” and they use “wa da” or “wah wah” the next stage is the final stage and that is when they can just say “water”, the stages take time to develop and go through each stage.  Babies just mimic (or try to at least) what their parents say. Parents use the Basic English by saying water in a way to speak to the baby.

Children learn language easier than their parents/adults because they have a chromosome that makes us have speech and communicate. Another reason  why children learn better are because that their brain is still developing and when they start learning and hearing words they start to remember and it’s basically inside the time when their brain is still starting to learn.

People play a very important role in child learning language, because if they are isolated they most likely won’t be able to learn, because they lack communication of their life. But it hasn’t been proven because nobody is able to try that experiment since it is the “Forbidden experiment”.

There is no more information on Human learning language because from the start it was basically only theories and to learn more you would need to do certain experiments but they are too cruel to do that, so until they find more experiments to get similar results information on human learning language.
