Adults learning a foreign language often need flash cards, tapes, and
practice, practice, practice.
Children, on the other hand, seem to pick
up their native language out of thin air.
The learning process is even
more remarkable when two languages are involved.
In a study
examining how bilingual children learn the two different sound systems
of languages they are acquiring simultaneously, Ithaca College faculty
member Skott Freedman has discovered insights that indicate children can learn two native languages as easily as they can learn one.
