What do babies learn before they are born? New tests have taken place
 to understand how unborn babies - called foetuses - learn language. It 
has been discovered that when babies are born they can already recognise
 familiar sounds and language patterns.
Rob and Finn discuss this research in 6 Minute English. They also talk about how babies develop an accent at a very young age.
This week's question:
According
 to a survey by the National Literacy Trust, which one of these words 
was discovered to be the most common first word for a baby to say - not 
including Mummy or Daddy?
        a) dog
        b) eat
        c) bus
Listen to the programme to find out the answer.
