Just met our friends' young granddaughter and was reminded of what experts say about language development.
Lost in Translation
They say babies make all the sounds
all our languages need and then
unlearn the ones they never use
in their native tonugue; so English
children lose their rolling r’s,
Spanish drop their v’s, and some
unlucky ones forget how to say I.
