Language, the way we express ourselves, is a vital part of learning. A baby learns his native

tongue naturally by hearing speech around him. If the speech he hears is rapid, not clear and never

directed at him then he learns slowly and speaks badly. A child of two or three who can’t make his

desires known or put his thoughts into words will usually become angry. His relationships with other

get worse. If the speech a baby hears around him is clear, and his family talk to him, he will gain a

satisfactory command of language directly, by his mother, his language ability will be greater. By the

time he is two, it is quite possible for him to have a vocabulary of two thousand words and by the time

he is three he will be able to read. Once ahead he will stay ahead.
