Belgian scientists have determined that newborn babies cry in their mother's tongue, meaning, for example, that French babies cry with a characteristically French rising inflection.
A fun and engaging read for language enthusiasts, travelers, and Francophiles. Inspired my trip to France and time on Duolingo!
My mother had been harassing me for years to read this author's other books, I must say after reading this one I am more inclined to do so. It as a very charming portrayal of the extremely a frustrating endeavor. It also inspired me to maybe break out summer of my language books again.
#HappyReads . This was really such a fun and interesting book. It's about cultural differences between the French and Americans from the POV of an American trying to learn French. But it's also a look at the evolution of languages and how our brain acquires it from the moment we are born. #Marchintoreading
