Summary
Elaine and Hector take questions from the listeners about second-language adoption and raising a child in a language that is not your mother tongue. They uncover the surprising sounds your baby can hear from their earliest days, and explore the differences between English, Spanish and German speech sounds, other vocal sounds across languages, and the problem that co-articulation (how words run together) presents to smart speakers and other devices with speech recognition.
