To know language is to be able to speak it; even a child
who does not yet attend school can speak his or her
language. In order to speak a language it is important to
listen to it and to read a few pages in it everyday. A child
picks up language and learns to talk just as learns
to walk. Walking and talking comes naturally to a child as
it grows. In our country, a child may grow up speaking
more than one language, if these languages are spoken in
the home and in the neighbourhood. we call this
multilingualism. A child speaks a language or languages
much before starts going to school. To know a
language then is first of all to be able to speak it as easily
and naturally as a tree year old child does. Later on the
child will learn to read and write in that language. In order
to read and write in a language, one has to speak it. But it
is possible to speak a language but not able to read or
write in it. A baby does not speak until it is nine months
old but it understands a few words at six months of age.
It has been listening ever since it was born, and even a
little before that. So the first strategy in speaking a
language is to listen.

One of the activities of a child before it is even born is


seeing

talking
