This is a very interesting video. I am an early childhood teacher in Australia. Literally, I was speaking in mandarin to an Ausis boy who is not 2 yet today. Simple words. He copied my words out loud, quite accurate with the sound. I was amazed. I always know that babies are geniuses at language learning. The video made me thinking if I keep doing that informally, they may pick up some mandarin subconsciously as they grow up. So interesting!
