Babies are born able to distinguish every sound in every language, but this universal ability fades before their first birthday. During a brief critical window, they learn rapidly by listening to people speak around them, absorbing the statistics of language patterns. Remarkably, exposure to a new language works only through live, in-person interaction, not from audio or video alone. Brain scans reveal that social engagement is essential for wiring the circuits that make language possible.
