Children have a remarkable ability to learn new languages. As little as five hours of exposure to a second language is enough to help infants incorporate characteristics of that language into their babbling according to a new study.

Thirteen one-year-old children from English-speaking households played with Spanish-speaking research assistants for a total of five hours, spread out in 30 minute sessions over six weeks. At the end of the five hours, the researchers recorded and analyzed the babies’ interactions with their parents in English and with the Spanish speaker.

As a language, Spanish has more multi-syllable words than English. The babies imitated this, changing the cadence of their babbling. This was the first time anyone had ever shown that children this young can incorporate language-specific cues into their speech production after such a short exposure.

I wish my parents knew this….learning spanish is the hardest thing in the world for me right now…..fffffffuuuu
