I've always wondered how that was possible for a brain to wrap around that. This is really interesting!
quote:
The best time to learn a foreign language: Between birth and age 7. Missed that window?
New research is showing just how children's brains can become bilingual so easily, findings that scientists hope eventually could help the rest of us learn a new language a bit easier.
"We think the magic that kids apply to this learning situation, some of the principles, can be imported into learning programs for adults," says Dr. Patricia Kuhl of the University of Washington, who is part of an international team now trying to turn those lessons into more teachable technology.

I had always heard that kids in the early development stage have very mutable brains and pick up language easier than our older less changeable brains can. It's still very amazing that kids can be bilingual so early.
