How babies learn to talk

This BBC Learning English podcast explores how babies acquire language, outlining the essential stages of this fascinating process. It explains that learning to speak involves several important steps, such as breaking down speech into individual words, connecting those words to their meanings, and identifying stressed syllables. To illustrate these concepts, the podcast shares examples of common mistakes children make, like saying "nana" instead of "banana," and notes that babbling usually starts around six months of age.
