The impact of social interaction on speech learning was demonstrated in a study investigating whether infants are capable 350-001 exam of phonetic and word learning at nine months of age from natural first-time exposure to a foreign language. Mandarin Chinese was used in the first foreign-language intervention experiment (Kuhl et al. 2003). Infants heard 4 native speakers VCP-410 exam of Mandarin (male and female) during 12 25-min sessions of book reading and play across a 4–6 week period. A control group of infants also came into the laboratory for the same number and variety of reading and play sessions but heard only English.Two additional groups were exposed to the identical Mandarin material over the same number of sessions via either standard television 642-901 exam or audio-only presentation. After exposure, Mandarin syllables that are not phonemic in English were used to test infant learning using both behavioral (Kuhl et al. 2003) and brain (Kuhl et al. 2008) tests.

Russian, anyone?

I'd love to do a Russian meetup. I just started this year, and am still pretty new at it. I wouldn't mind coordinating it, but it would be nice if someone who was more fluent would help co-coordinate.

Anyone?

Hi Jason,

I have studied German sometime ago. I would love to refresh it in conversation. Have you succeeded in forming up a group?

Best regards,

Hi, everyone!

I'm new here and I am really excited to see all of this language learning activity! I'm a native english speaker with pretty good German skills. I'm looking to learn Mandarin and Latin American Spanish and to keep up my German. I'm willing to teach German and help non-native speakers to improve their English… I could possibly be the ESL coordinator if no one else steps up. Call me if you want to set up a 1-on-1 outside of the meetups: 419.787.9577. Otherwise, I look forward to seeing you around at one of the above meetups! :o)
