How do babies learn language?

There’s a magic window starting at 6 months

From 6 to 12 months, babies’ brains focus on the sounds they hear most, laying the groundwork for future speech. At birth, they can hear every sound in every human language—early exposure during this window makes a lasting impact.

They learn best from live interaction with you

Babies don’t pick up language from screens—they learn it from people. Face-to-face conversation, especially using the natural sing-song “parentese” voice, strengthens their listening, processing, and speaking skills.

They need early and consistent exposure

Talking, reading, and singing often—every single day—helps build a strong language foundation. Real human connection and back-and-forth engagement are what truly spark learning.

“An infant child possesses an amazing, and fleeting, gift: the ability to master a language quickly. At six months, the child can learn the sounds that make up English words and, if also exposed to Quechua and Tagalog, he or she can pick up the unique acoustic properties of those languages, too.”
