Apparently I made it to the end of the Italian course on Duolingo. Guess I'll go back and brush up on German or French.
Or maybe it's time to start a NEW language...hmm🤔

#BabyTalk is surprisingly complex and designed to aid #LanguageAcquisition through simplified grammar and vocabulary as well as exaggerated pitch. It's near universal, with virtually all cultures engaging in it in some form.

I’ve just read this interesting article about children’s vocabulary development & reading habits, & I have slightly complicated feelings about it.

TLDR (4/4):

The findings also shed light on why some children struggle with reading & dyslexia: those who rely on piecemeal strategies (focusing on parts, not wholes) may find it harder to distinguish similar letters or process words fluidly.
