The linguistic genius of babies - Patricia Kuhl

[@ingridcandacetmahusay04]

This video is very helpful to the adults especially the parents, kuhls explanation and observation on how newborn acquire language is on point. They manage to exlain the and teach the corrrect response to the children especially when onversing to them and from that we can see how amazing our brains are, especially the youngerr ones.

[@maxenequiroquiro2343]

This video really showed us how amazing our brains are, especially at such a young age. I have learned to appreciate the process of a baby's brain analyzing language and its sounds because they were able to pay attention to it even though they're still that young. Also, the presence of parents and how they respond to their infants is one of the most important things to note when a baby tries to communicate. Quiro Quiro, Maxene L. BEE II-2

[@johnvianneydames9831]

Kuhl's observations on newborn language acquisition are very amazing, displaying the astonishing cognitive powers of even the youngest learners. Through her research, she sheds light on the complicated process by which babies decipher linguistic patterns, demonstrating the incredible potential of the human brain from its early stages.

[@angelaveronicabaguio8827]

The video taught me that talking and spending time with parents and other people who take care of a child are super important for how a child grows up. It's like the building blocks for a bunch of things, like being able to talk well, think clearly, get along with others, feel good inside, and understand the world and where they come from. Baguio, Angela Veronica L. BEE II - 3

[@annanicoletolentino2366]

I think that it is amazing how children, especially babies, are. The way that babies are able to "understand" and process the words being said to them, their meaning, and the sound that is being made is remarkable. As a future service teacher, the video shows how it is important to support your child's ability to communicate in whatever way or form. It also supports your child's ability to express and understand feelings. Tolentino, Anna Nicole P. BEE II - 3

[@marivicmacaspac7278]

This video taught me how important the responses of the parents are to their talking babies. Because each responses we make teach children what appropriate response should be made when conversing to others. It is indeed amazing how the child acquire knowledge by just being observant and by the act of immitation. Macaspac,Marivic P. BEE II-3

[@liannerosereyes4760]

I feel that it is astounding how youngsters, particularly pampers, are. How children can comprehend and process the words being told them, their importance, and the sound that is being mode is amazing. The video shows how it means a lot to help your kid's capacity to impart in the manner or structure. Lianne Rose Reyes BEE II-1

[@ms.andreikate]

The development of the human brain, especially in the early years, is indeed remarkable. A child may be a child, but after watching this video, it made me realize that this phase of our lives is really the start of an individual's development. I also remember that babies are linguistic geniuses because they are capable of learning multiple languages in their first years of life. Ceguerra, Andrei Kate D. BEE II-2 (2023-2024)

[@amazesumoroy6280]

It is commendable how the speaker discusses the importance of language in children's development and how it is influenced by their brain. They discuss the concept of a critical period in language learning, where babies try to master which sounds are used in their language. This period is crucial for social, emotional, and cognitive development. Sumoroy, Amaze S. BEE II-2

[@denicejordanolores]

This video enlightened me on how babies acquire their languages, and I am in awe, once again, on how amazing babies' brains are. Olores, Denice Jordan P. BEE II - 1

[@jonathanperdigon5309]

We were quite amazed by this video, especially considering how young our minds are. A baby's ability to pay attention to language, even at such an early age, has taught me to respect the mechanism by which their brain processes language and its sounds. Perdigon, Jonathan V. BEE II - 02

[@AMBERJOYTORRES]

Patricia Kuhl's discussion on how babies learn one language over another through attentive listening and statistical analysis made me appreciate the complexity of early cognitive development. It made me reflect on the incredible cognitive abilities even very young children possess. Torres, Amber Joy P. BEE II-1

[@neshreenguiamad7978]

It is really true that a baby's brain can grasp many pieces of information coming from their environment. They can input information, absorb it, decode it, and analyze it at such a young age. Yet, the implications are that it can be possible if they are exposed to it, not just by putting them in front of a television or tablet and making them watch it. Babies brains are underrated amazing. Thank you for this insightful information. Guiamad, Bai Yan Zee S. BEE 2-3

[@angelmaedecipulo3715]

I think it is amazing how babies' mind in such a young age can do so much more than what we expected. They are not a blank slate and that there is something going on in their minds as well as the way they process a language. My favorite part was when Patricia Kuhl explained the absence of learning with mere exposure to television set and audio, contrary to the popular belief, but it takes a human being for babies to take their statistics. ANGEL MAE DECIPULO II-3 BEE

[@levinarcega1456]

The video described how young children pick up language. How they recognized the languages solely on their sounds is fascinating. This video is undoubtedly essential to watch, especially if you intend to enroll in a language course since it will clarify how language is learned. The section where Khul said that infants are geniuses and can easily learn language before they reach seven is my favorite. However, after puberty, things will change. It is a good insight. Knowing this will help the language teachers to adjust and what to focus to in language teaching especially if they intend to teach primary levels or pre-schoolers. Arcega, Andrey Levin C. BEE II-3

[@HannahGwynethC.Albacite]

It's amazing to find out how we learn language at such an early age which changed some of my perceptions in language acquisition. Infants have an innate capacity to acquire and recognize language due to neural plasticity and this gives an emphasis to the need of a language-rich environment. Albacite, Hannah BEE II-3

[@NIGELCORONEL-dz8pt]

The video offered a captivating exploration into the mechanisms young children employ to grasp language, particularly their remarkable ability to discern languages based solely on sound. It undeniably serves as a crucial resource, particularly for those considering enrolling in a language course, as it elucidates the intricacies of language acquisition. Personally, I found Khul's observation about infants being language geniuses who effortlessly learn before the age of seven to be particularly intriguing. However, the insight into the shift in language learning dynamics after puberty was eye-opening. This knowledge stands to greatly benefit language teachers, offering guidance on how to adapt their approaches, particularly when teaching primary levels or preschoolers. Understanding these nuances enables educators to tailor their methods effectively and focus on key aspects of language teaching for different age groups. Coronel, Nigel BEE II-I

[@johannamaejose5209]

This video is worth watching! Patricia Kuhl explains how amazing babies' brains are. Seeing how they analyze sounds and statistics to understand words is fascinating. Furthermore, the role of the baby's peers or parents during this stage is influential; they can help by motivating and guiding the baby to learn more, and at the same time, they will develop a stronger bond. Jose, Johanna Mae G. BEE II-2

[@joannaboliche2242]

It is amazing how babies acquire language and how it get developed overtime. Listening to their surroundings and trying to signal what they are trying to say or what they want is a part of learning. This is where development rise. Boliche, Joanna Mae L. BEE II-2

[@maolivia.flores]

I am fascinated by the incredible abilities of children, particularly infants. The manner in which babies can grasp and process spoken words, decipher their meanings, and discern the intricacies of various sounds is truly extraordinary. As I aspire to become a future service teacher, this video highlights the crucial role of fostering an environment that nurtures a child's communication skills, irrespective of the mode or form. It underscores the significance of supporting not only their linguistic development but also their capacity to articulate and comprehend emotions. The profound impact of such support on a child's overall growth is a testament to the importance of cultivating effective communication and emotional intelligence from a young age. MA. OLIVIA E. FLORES BEE II-3

[@niamhmarte8444]

This video was really an eye-opener for me. Not only because I’ve learned more about babies and how their brains process language and its sounds, but it also made me realize that I am interested in this kind of topic. It really amazes me that babies are capable of differentiating sounds from the language, and the factors how it affects them. One example such that it only works if it is spoken by an actual human rather than an electronic device. BEE II - 2 MARTE, Niamh S.

This video explains how babies can discriminate all sounds of languages in different countries and take statistics on the language that they are hearing. It is amazing how babies have a different processing and adaptation of language. These capabilities only manifest in the earlier years; hence, adults won’t be able to do this. The fact that they can only take statistics when actual humans talk and not on television emphasizes how people are social beings even from an earlier age. Hence, it shows that it is important to talk and interact with babies for them to learn the language. Gealon, Gwyne Jims Zoe Chae M. BEE II-3

AGUILAR, MA. LEAH AMOR BEE II-3 People always assume that the child learn their languages through hearing the sounds of the videos that they are watching. Nevertheless. we assune wrong. Children learn their first language by simply watching videos. Many studies believes that children easily learn if they see what is being taugh to them. For example, children tends to learn more if they see by themselves on a parcticular video or in person how the lips of the person moves in a specific words or language. Labs and other scientific materials also amaze me on how they study or track the understanding of babies when it comes to languages. Babies and Childrens are indeed brilliants human beings at their young age they learned si much stuff by themselves in their own little way and it amaze me on how they truly learn by not simply listening to such things but as well as by watching them.

[@Marbella.Bernadette.Francyne]

[@imkittyamazing]

I don’t understand why she says it’s almost impossible for someone to be bilingual or speak other languages and sound fluent? Different accents exit. Even Americans and British people sound different and they speak the same language. English is not my first language but everyone including my fiancé (he’s Canadian) tells me I sound amazing. All my Chinese and Vietnamese friends tell me I sound fluent and I’m at the top of my class in Japanese. I speak more than 7 languages and most of them I studied after the age of 15. I’m 22 now and if I wasn’t able to understand the differences in sounds and statistics like how she says then I wouldn’t have all these diplomas. Interesting topic but i really can’t relate and that makes me wonder how accurate this is.
