Why do they turn into adults 😢

[@laurenaspreyart]

I was 6 when my youngest sister was born, and until then, I always assumed that mother’s would sit their toddlers down and have language lessons. I remember thinking: “that’s gotta be a big responsibility and a lot of hard work for the parents” I was blown away when I realised that babies don’t have to be taught they just learn through play and typical daily interactions

[@qianwu1873]

I like that they showed the babies in bilingual family! My native language is Chinese but I live in the US and I sometimes wonder which language I should use after my baby is born. Now I learned babies are just so intelligent that they will be perfectly fine growing up in a bilingual environment.

[@FlyingDwarfman]

Not only fine, but better off in the long run -- much, much more so than if one or both parents are using a language they aren't fluent in. (I also want to that you seem very good and likely fluent in academic-English, so I don't mean to imply otherwise). Also keep in mind there is a concept called "passive" fluency where a person can listen (and/ or read), but not speak (and/ or write) the language. This is pretty common for many people who grow up in bilingual homes (I have had many friends like this!).

[@qianwu1873]

@@FlyingDwarfman Thanks for the note! I also have many friends with "passive" fluency kids, and it seems to me that has to do with phycological reason - the kids prefer to speak English to fit in. That will be a bit of challenge for me in the future.

[@stephaniescarlett7887]

ive heard that all aspects of learning become easier for the bilingually reared child actually...that pathways, other than those involved in speech, are bolstered by the advanced speech development in fact;) and as they stated, it is far easier to learn multiple languages as a baby that later in life- and i could be wrong because im no scientist, but i would think that 2 completely different language bases would make learning the 2 from birth even more beneficial- only because it seems to me that they would be more different from one another. You know like spanish, english, french,. italian, are all languages with Latin as their root language- kinda lumping them together with some similar sounding words- but Asiatic language has a different root- sometimes there are words that really have no good translation from one language to another when root languages are different- to me that is cool, interesting, and mysterious- a little one may find it boring, tedious and pointless lol- but we all go thru that w/ somethin every now and then, huh? So I say yes, most definitely teach your baby both- they will be better off for it, for sure

[@favourokore3460]

lol.. i grew up on a trilingual family... (that's if trilingual is a word😂) my dad is from a different ethnic group from my mom and they are living in an environment where they speak english mostly and I can only speak english😂 but i do understand my mom's language tho but i don't speak

[@monikajuma9163]

Will it be in that way in an environment of trilingual language ?

[@artemiskingsley]

I remember when our youngest brother was born who is 11+yrs gap between us. My parents were so busy so they decided instead of hiring a nanny we siblings have to take care of him since we are old enough to do it just like what they did when they were young. Our brother learned to speak by the age of 1 and learned to read and write by the age of 3 because we didn't "BABY TALK" when we are communicating with him we speak normally and act normally that's why he learned so fast. Babies are very fast learners it really surprises me.

[@notme6966]

I have two non-verbal toddlers and this both encourages me and discourages me. But it's a little funny with the mention of music and language. My youngest can't speak a single word but knows the melodies and can 'sing' them perfectly to several lullabies and songs.

[@userutrytrbnmvcbn]

[@MillennialMountainMama]

When my third child was a toddler, he went to a well known early childhood school and we participated in a language study! He wore this little recording device and it recorded all of the words he heard in like a 24 hour period at home and I was so embarrassed because I accidentally said a curse word! 😂 😅😬Anyway, it was great to know that we were helping researchers understand more about language in young children.

[@imrozfeels770]

I always wanted a documentary like this. And here it is🤗

[@donnaallgaier-lamberti3933]

My 10-month-old son spoke three-word sentences at 10 months old before he walked. He first words were I want cookie! I spoke to him from day I was an at-home mother (fortunately) and spoke to him and read to him from day one.

[@ISabrinaISC]

Do you guys think that babies already have knowledge when they are born? Because when I watch these videos I see that babies are so intelligent and, sadly, many people underestimate their ability. They are the best♥

[@anevandyk2]

Yes. As soon as a baby’s hearing develops in utero, language learning starts. Babies still has the ability to acquire any language if exposed to that language is sufficient and continuous.

[@nhathan428]

superb documentaries on babies!!

[@Ashallmusica]

Netflix really provide great knowledgeable content to the audience

[@RD-zb2yx]

It's not only about natural vs non-natural speech distinction. If you were to expose the English-speaking baby, say, to Japanese, then s/he would favour the English one. That's about the rhythm that they're exposed to rather than the natural vs non-natural speech distinction.

[@vvvarad]

But I'd say more than rhythm it's the familiarity of one speech versus the other.

[@auntyjasmine2566]

But what the researcher showed is, one type of rhythm, pitch, sound pattern etc , in one language can sound more NATURAL to a baby than another rhythm, pitch, sound pattern etc, from a completely different language- which would sound more UNNATURAL. For example the rhythm in the English language would sound more NATURAL to an English- speaking baby, because that is the rhythm that the baby has adapted to hearing, as that is the language that the baby has been exposed to the most. As oppose to Japanese for instance, so natural vs non-natural speech distinction is still applicable and very much valid. Of course it's different if say, the baby is exposed to 2 languages at once. ( I hope this comment doesn't come across as condescending)

Still remember my Logic class, "*Nihil est in intellectu quod non prius fuerit in sensu*" means "there is nothing in the intellect that does not pass through the senses" In other words, we are born "blank slates" and only come to knowledge by degrees of experience.

[@margaret5418]

As far as language is concerned. I suggest reading something by the renowned Erik Erikson. He is know for sure very early baby research. I’m sure many strides have been made since his work, but he is a good place to start, I think.

Dear Netflix, when will you upload the second episode of the first season: 'First Food'?

[@FlyingDwarfman]

Since I know this is a common question for people, those who may be interested in raising your children bilingual with parents speaking different languages, this is covered with a real-life example from ~30:50 to ~34:00

[@dancingzombie4159]

They presented two experiments in this video, conducted almost exactly the same way; yet, they came to different conclusions, but propose almost the exact same theory. In the first one, they conclude babies stare/listen to the more familiar sound/light, and in the second one they are concluding that babies stare/listen to the novel sound/light. While these studies may not actually be contradictory, it's interesting that this series presents them both, appearing to be conflicting, but without explanation.

[@jimbaker5110]

The first experiment had nothing to do with familiar light. It was more with the familiar rythmn of the speech they were hearing.

[@summergirl4567]

One is testing recognition of patterns of speech as a whole and the other is testing syllabic learning. The words in the first one were all real, but the unnatural pattern makes the baby realize that it's not the way a person would talk or communicate with them, so they look to the natural sounding one for clearer communication. The conclusion is based on babies recognizing the rhythm or flow of communication, not the familiarity of specific sound combinations. Think of it as listening to discordant music - doesn't matter if the lyrics make sense or not you're not going to want to listen to it. The second one had nonsensical words, so pre-existing exposure is not what was being tested but learning; in fact they mention this kind of test had been done before with one familiar word and one nonsensical and the child preferred the real word. Once a baby learns something, they get bored and look for something new, so overexposure was part of this experiment's methodology unlike the other one. The baby learned the sounds of the word in that made up language that went together, got bored, then looked at the side that was not a word in that made up language to process if it was a word or not. Both words had the same 3-syllable flow which they processed as rhythmically consistent with being a word in this language, but the syllabic combination did not fit the statistical data of what sounds go into words that they'd just learned. They were processing if maybe it was an exception. The best way I explain this is the video "How English sounds to non-English speakers" on KZbin by Brian and Karl. They use both the rhythms and syllabic norms of English while meaning nothing. If they used the rhythms of English with the syllabic norms of say a non-Germanic language like Tamil, it would be confusing but may still register as actual communication.

Great documentary film about the reality of life. The producers were able to hide the truth in the fridge. Let's see if someone decoded the message. Which device model is best? The old or the new? Are the kids born fully equipped with the survival skills, including languages, already embedded in them or not? Can the one-year-old kids fail to communicate with one another due to language barriers? Suppose the newborn comes fully equipped to understand everything in this world and loses that capability as they grow. What is it that makes them loses those abilities as they grow older? Is the 70's, 80's & 90's model the best & fully-equipped model compared to the latest models?

the main part of a language is not the sound system though. Babies who cannot hear learn the sign language in a very similar way to how hearing babies learn a natural language. This is what the musician + linguists miss

27:40 I don't understand how this conclusion is drawn. I'm a layman in this but it seems to me that the interpretation of the babies' actions can be quite subjective.
