What I learned from this video is that âBabies started to discriminate their own languages at their first birthdaysâ, which means I have to pay more attention to first year when I m trying to raise my daughter a bilingual child, now she is 55-day old. Thanks for sharing this video.

This crowd laughs at weird times. I wonder if the previous speaker put them in a humorous mood.

This is what frustrates me. There's legitimate evidence that learning other languages at younger ages can benefit children, but in the United States (the majority of it, anyway), they wait until early adolescence to teach children new languages.
For example, when I was five years old, I attended a school on Martha's Vineyard, as I was born there and lived on-island until the age of seven. They taught the students how to speak beginners Spanish throughout their entire educational career. I remember the stuff we learned back then.
I then moved to Rehoboth, Massachusetts and found that they no longer taught a foreign language to my age group (I moved at the age of eight going into nine). I went for around three years (until the age of thirteen, I believe, when we were entering 7th grade) without trying to learn another language.
Upon entering that Spanish I class, I found that I remembered the small amount of Spanish that I was taught as a younger child, but struggled like all hell when we were being taught in middle school and onward (so much to the point where I gave up in my senior year of high school, and now suffer the consequences).
I am now 21, and trying to learn the German language as I didn't finish all four years of a foreign language in high school. I am having a ridiculously difficult time trying to grasp the concepts of grammar in another language, despite it being fairly similar to my own native tongue.
Point being, I am really sick and tired of school systems doing teaching styles improperly. With all this scientific evidence to back it up, would it not make more sense to teach kids how to speak foreign languages at a much earlier age, as the plasticity of the brain would be more apt to hold onto the information? It's ridiculous, because they then expect students to fluidly absorb this new language information.
Some students can easily grasp language comprehension (I have a few friends who might as well be native speakers), but they don't think to teach them earlier on when it's more beneficial to the student rather than themselves. It's idiotic.

This is so interesting to me, my daughter was actually in this study when we lived in seattle. She was one of the babies that went to the Mandarin class and I believe you had her return twice to be retested to make sure the results were accurate. She's actually turning 24 this month month and we were both thinking it would be interesting to see what would happen if she were to try to learn Mandarin now. We both had a little laugh over it.

I think this is fantastic. As I age I can feel the malleability of my brain slowly shrinking, and I am approaching the last era of learning. Yet there are decades of learning ahead of me, as I never want to stop growing and developing. I can only hope study like this can help us allow the human mind to constantly bloom throughout our lives.

Im and early years student and I found this video very interesting and would recommend it for other students in terms of studying SLA or child development modules

I like this one, 'we may be able to help keep our own minds open to learning for our entire lives.' Scientific study is amazing.

finally, TED back in its good old form

I found something interesting and useful from the video. Thanks for your publishment.

She isn't saying if you are old you can't learn, the gist of what she is saying is that you acquire more easily when you are younger. I talk to a few Swedes and I'm learning the language, naturally I asked for tips and talked generally to them as to how they learnt English so well. They all said pretty much what you did - it wasn't so much formal classes and an academic route (that might have gave them a foundation, helped with grammar) but more being exposed to media so much.

I'm so glad that encountered this video, this explains a lot.

As a amateur linguist, this video is very interesting.

A very good talk TED. keep it up!

@dushevka Same here, left school at 16 and now fluent in 4 languages and I get by reasonably in another 3.
Just because I got exposed to foreigners a lot and wished to be able to communicate. All self tought.
And the wonderful thing is getting exposed to attitudes, stories and world-views you never knew existed!
Easiest way to broaden your mind is to understand other cultures. Speaking only your native language is like looking at the world through a key hole...

Interesting work! - the punch line was missing though, what was the difference observed by the MEG between a baby learning from audio and screen and a baby receiving interaction with a person.

This video is very helpful, it's incredible to learn how babies pick up language, almost like tiny scientists decoding the world around them. Moerover, the experiments and brain scans really shed light on their sophisticated understanding at such a young age.

2 things about this video.
1.) A lot of mentioned things like the developement of the childrens "pronunciation capability" are very true and are shown in a lot of cases.
2.) Nevertheless, I does not mean that they have more difficulties with learning new sounds when they are grown up. I grew up monolingual (well ok English as a second language with 7 or 8, but anyway) now I speak 4 languages and learning my 5th while I started them jsut about 2 years ago. I think it really depends on things like motivation, intelligence and perseverance. Because if you know abstract words, you can directly ask and try to translate them to a close counterpart in another language.

Great presentation. I agree, babies learn language instinctually.

In South Africa, almost every primary school teaches 3 languages that are compulsory. Your home language, first additional language and second additional language. The SEL changes for which province you live in.
