Baby babble isn't just goo goo! And hearing 2 languages is better than one
The science of baby babble is surprisingly complex. And the idea that a baby exposted to two languages will be confused ... let's see what babble researchers have to say about that.
In English, we adults like to say babies go "goo goo ga ga." In French, it's "areau areau." And in Mandarin, it's "ya ya."
So do babies really babble with different sounds in different parts of the world? And what does that tell us about how babies learn to speak?
A few years ago I was on a train, seated across a table from a French woman traveling with her toddler.
