A baby and foreign language
I thought that babies under 1 year do not feel the difference between languages. They can`t talk so as I thought they don`t understand what language you speak. And now I suppose that I was mistaken. Yesterday I was talking by phone with my colleague and I spoke English. My baby who is only 5 months old was looking at me with great interest. I has already seen me speaking by phone in Russian. So I am sure he was listening to unfamiliar words and analyzing what was his mother doing.
