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.
