it is so amazing how the girl could do that.. i mean I am still struggling to speak the language I am living at (I moved to Taiwan not long ago).
The power of the human mind even at such a young age is absolutely incredible!
Gods children have endless potential when nurtured in peace by loving parents.
What a confident young girl.

When I was a teacher I had students constantly ask me how I learnt languages so I decided to have a class on it one days.
30 students attended my class and I went around the room asking what each persons personal difficulties were when learning a language. So we compiled a list which included what you might expect, 'grammar, spelling, memorising vocab etc'.
So then i drew a picture on the board (A big muscular guy with a 6 pac which got me a few laughs) and then a toddler picture next to him.
Then I said to the right is me now and to the left is me at 2 years old. Then I asked "which me do you think sees all these issues when learning a language?" and they pointed to me as an adult. So then I asked "Who do you think is the best language learner?" and they pointed to me as an child.
I surprised them when I said not correct. I can learn 10 times faster now when I'm an adult with all my understanding, knowledge and tools at my disposal. Kids are just the best learners because they don't over complicate the task at hand.
Anyone should be able to learn a language to a very good level in a matter of a few months.
9 years I spoke only English with many failed attempts over the years, then for some reason I learnt fluent Thai in the space of a few months from a book (And my methodology was completely wrong in comparison to today), then came my second language Chinese with almost no effort in contrast to the amount of effort to my Thai.
Fast forward to today, Fluent Thai and Chinese (Cemi fluent but speak to a very good level and get by in most conversations. Can have discussions about government and used to do investment presentations in Chinese), Lao to a decent level, Hebrew and Spanish (Currently learning -- very casually)
Anyone can learn. Keep it simple. Contact me if you'd like more info or if your interested in me starting a language blog.
