Unlocking the Hidden Meaning Behind Baby Babble

Babies babble with different sounds depending on the language they are exposed to, indicating their ability to imitate the rhythm and intonation of the language they hear. Research shows that babies raised in bilingual households adapt their babbling patterns to match the languages they are exposed to. This ability is attributed to enhanced neuroplasticity, which allows babies to learn and distinguish all sounds and languages. Contrary to the belief that learning multiple languages simultaneously would confuse babies, studies suggest that it actually enhances brain flexibility and maximizes neuroplasticity. The heightened ability to learn language lasts until around 5 years old, with some language superpowers lingering until age 12.
