The idea
Language develops in a predictable sequence of cooing, babbling, single words, two-word phrases, and full sentences.
In practice
Recordings across dozens of languages place babbling near six months and first words near a year.
Where people slip
The sequence is reliable and its timing varies widely. Deviation in timing is not deviation in order.
Your place on the trail
Every lesson rests on earlier ones and opens later ones. Tap any to jump.
