I was 6 when my youngest sister was born, and until then, I always assumed that mother’s would sit their toddlers down and have language lessons. I remember thinking: “that’s gotta be a big responsibility and a lot of hard work for the parents”
I was blown away when I realised that babies don’t have to be taught they just learn through play and typical daily interactions
i'm currently doing a bachelor of arts in psychology, linguistics, and music psychology. this video was made for me!
*earning, obtaining
Lies again? UFC + WWE + IBF = Nazri's Family
I'm a speech language pathologist and mom of a non-verbal 3 year old and this is absolutely breaking my heart. Damn UA-cam algorithm!
this is more intereesting when you have a 1 year old cousin around you to observe this in real life...haha... children are amazing....they are a miracle... humans are nothing less than a miracle.... God be praised!!!
ooo yes indeed PRAISE GOD!
Videos like this scream "Intelligent Designer" and then naturally "Praise God!" Very hard to deny!
@@VenturaWeddings amen!!!
Why do they turn into adults 😢
Haha Nelson's attempt to say "lion" at 17:10 sounded a lot like a sound cats make when you scratch their backside. So cute 😂
that might be the reason the word sounds like that
I like that they showed the babies in bilingual family! My native language is Chinese but I live in the US and I sometimes wonder which language I should use after my baby is born. Now I learned babies are just so intelligent that they will be perfectly fine growing up in a bilingual environment.
Not only fine, but better off in the long run -- much, much more so than if one or both parents are using a language they aren't fluent in.
(I also want to that you seem very good and likely fluent in academic-English, so I don't mean to imply otherwise).
Also keep in mind there is a concept called "passive" fluency where a person can listen (and/ or read), but not speak (and/ or write) the language. This is pretty common for many people who grow up in bilingual homes (I have had many friends like this!).
@@FlyingDwarfman Thanks for the note! I also have many friends with "passive" fluency kids, and it seems to me that has to do with phycological reason - the kids prefer to speak English to fit in. That will be a bit of challenge for me in the future.
ive heard that all aspects of learning become easier for the bilingually reared child actually...that pathways, other than those involved in speech, are bolstered by the advanced speech development in fact;) and as they stated, it is far easier to learn multiple languages as a baby that later in life- and i could be wrong because im no scientist, but i would think that 2 completely different language bases would make learning the 2 from birth even more beneficial- only because it seems to me that they would be more different from one another. You know like spanish, english, french,. italian, are all languages with Latin as their root language- kinda lumping them together with some similar sounding words- but Asiatic language has a different root- sometimes there are words that really have no good translation from one language to another when root languages are different- to me that is cool, interesting, and mysterious- a little one may find it boring, tedious and pointless lol- but we all go thru that w/ somethin every now and then, huh? So I say yes, most definitely teach your baby both- they will be better off for it, for sure
lol.. i grew up on a trilingual family... (that's if trilingual is a word😂) my dad is from a different ethnic group from my mom and they are living in an environment where they speak english mostly and I can only speak english😂 but i do understand my mom's language tho but i don't speak
Will it be in that way in an environment of trilingual language ?
I taught my daughter sign language since I was learning in college. She was only 6 months old. She could tell me, [all done, hungry, thirsty, play, tired, love you, book, different animals and emotions]
I have two non-verbal toddlers and this both encourages me and discourages me. But it's a little funny with the mention of music and language. My youngest can't speak a single word but knows the melodies and can 'sing' them perfectly to several lullabies and songs.
That's interesting!
I remember when our youngest brother was born who is 11+yrs gap between us. My parents were so busy so they decided instead of hiring a nanny we siblings have to take care of him since we are old enough to do it just like what they did when they were young. Our brother learned to speak by the age of 1 and learned to read and write by the age of 3 because we didn't "BABY TALK" when we are communicating with him we speak normally and act normally that's why he learned so fast. Babies are very fast learners it really surprises me.
When my third child was a toddler, he went to a well known early childhood school and we participated in a language study! He wore this little recording device and it recorded all of the words he heard in like a 24 hour period at home and I was so embarrassed because I accidentally said a curse word! 😂 😅😬Anyway, it was great to know that we were helping researchers understand more about language in young children.
24:44 This is actually how I learn english.. since english is not my mother language.. I'm not an infant anymore, but I confirmed that it's true!
You as a grown person can't confirm or deny the theories put forth in this video as it's based on babies not adults
Netflix bieng kind : give them something cool to watch for free
I know right
Yeah that or advertisement... wait, do you feel like a complete idiot to have spent all that $$$ on netflix?
Just download all in telegram
@@thulasimadhavan3763 how
There is many groups in telegram which provide series......
My 10-month-old son spoke three-word sentences at 10 months old before he walked. He first words were I want cookie! I spoke to him from day I was an at-home mother (fortunately) and spoke to him and read to him from day one.
This video really blows my mind, the babies are way more intelligence than I thought. I automatically thought about how should I parent my babies most excellently in the future when watching this lol.
For the new moms out there, remember that a mother’s joy begins when new life is stirring inside; when a tiny heartbeat is heard for the first time, and a playful kick reminds her that she is never alone 💗
Do you guys think that babies already have knowledge when they are born? Because when I watch these videos I see that babies are so intelligent and, sadly, many people underestimate their ability. They are the best♥
Yes. As soon as a baby’s hearing develops in utero, language learning starts. Babies still has the ability to acquire any language if exposed to that language is sufficient and continuous.
If a programme succeeds in making someone who was unsure whether to have children change to being pretty sure they children in the future, you know it's a miraculous show.
It's the best. You will have moments you will feel truly grateful to the universe.
When i heard the word "Miraculous" I immediately thought of the creative intelligent designer within the Bible, not the "universe" but to each their own.
Since I know this is a common question for people, those who may be interested in raising your children bilingual with parents speaking different languages, this is covered with a real-life example from
~30:50 to ~34:00
Some children don't start talking for years. One of my nieces children didn't start talking until she was 4 years old, then she started saying whole sentences!
It's not only about natural vs non-natural speech distinction. If you were to expose the English-speaking baby, say, to Japanese, then s/he would favour the English one. That's about the rhythm that they're exposed to rather than the natural vs non-natural speech distinction.
But I'd say more than rhythm it's the familiarity of one speech versus the other.
But what the researcher showed is, one type of rhythm, pitch, sound pattern etc , in one language can sound more NATURAL to a baby than another rhythm, pitch, sound pattern etc, from a completely different language- which would sound more UNNATURAL. For example the rhythm in the English language would sound more NATURAL to an English- speaking baby, because that is the rhythm that the baby has adapted to hearing, as that is the language that the baby has been exposed to the most. As oppose to Japanese for instance, so natural vs non-natural speech distinction is still applicable and very much valid. Of course it's different if say, the baby is exposed to 2 languages at once.
( I hope this comment doesn't come across as condescending)
@@auntyjasmine2566 I agree with you 100% very well put.
From 24:06, baby: what is this alien thing, this is not part of my data
I had to watch this for English class. At first, I was angry at watching a 50 minute video... but it's actually really interesting
You got to watch a Netflix documentary for English class ? Wow you're lucky.
@@xxnikkixx Well, we had to write notes and answer questions from the teacher and stuff. Unfortunately it wasn't literally just "watch it before this deadline" haha
@@notthepinkkirby4332 It's still cooler than my english classes at school lol
Still remember my Logic class, "*Nihil est in intellectu quod non prius fuerit in sensu*" means "there is nothing in the intellect that does not pass through the senses"
In other words, we are born "blank slates" and only come to knowledge by degrees of experience.
As a uncle this is quite enjoyable to watch.
Being an uncle is the best! :) Like grandparents... you get to spoil your nieces and nephews rotten... and not feel guilty about it. LOL! :)
I always wanted a documentary like this. And here it is🤗
It feels so strange to watch everyone without masks.
I wonder how strange! Here in Sweden we don't wear masks, we don't even have lockdown.
@@ashrafchawila so jealous, that must be amazing
Meh, I'm not that astonished. But whenever I see a baby putting a toy in their mouth, it feels kinda...'ill'.
I remember when my brother was born 8 years after me and he was just learning to talk. The older siblings would get impatient and cut him off or talk over him at the dinner table. My dad would say "ok, children let's be quiet and let Christopher speak". I would sit there rolling my eyes impatiently waiting for him to spit a few words out. 🤣🤣🤣
They presented two experiments in this video, conducted almost exactly the same way; yet, they came to different conclusions, but propose almost the exact same theory. In the first one, they conclude babies stare/listen to the more familiar sound/light, and in the second one they are concluding that babies stare/listen to the novel sound/light. While these studies may not actually be contradictory, it's interesting that this series presents them both, appearing to be conflicting, but without explanation.
The first experiment had nothing to do with familiar light. It was more with the familiar rythmn of the speech they were hearing.
One is testing recognition of patterns of speech as a whole and the other is testing syllabic learning.
The words in the first one were all real, but the unnatural pattern makes the baby realize that it's not the way a person would talk or communicate with them, so they look to the natural sounding one for clearer communication. The conclusion is based on babies recognizing the rhythm or flow of communication, not the familiarity of specific sound combinations. Think of it as listening to discordant music - doesn't matter if the lyrics make sense or not you're not going to want to listen to it.
The second one had nonsensical words, so pre-existing exposure is not what was being tested but learning; in fact they mention this kind of test had been done before with one familiar word and one nonsensical and the child preferred the real word. Once a baby learns something, they get bored and look for something new, so overexposure was part of this experiment's methodology unlike the other one. The baby learned the sounds of the word in that made up language that went together, got bored, then looked at the side that was not a word in that made up language to process if it was a word or not. Both words had the same 3-syllable flow which they processed as rhythmically consistent with being a word in this language, but the syllabic combination did not fit the statistical data of what sounds go into words that they'd just learned. They were processing if maybe it was an exception.
The best way I explain this is the video "How English sounds to non-English speakers" on UA-cam by Brian and Karl. They use both the rhythms and syllabic norms of English while meaning nothing. If they used the rhythms of English with the syllabic norms of say a non-Germanic language like Tamil, it would be confusing but may still register as actual communication.
I have no kids..but in future yes. My love for babies just made me watch this. Babies are beautiful little angels❤️
They sure are.
It is so good idea to make baby series 💫
Netflix really provide great knowledgeable content to the audience
Subhaan Allah ✨❤
superb documentaries on babies!!
I am English ( Indian heritage ) .... my wife German ...she used our son Immauel in a project with recording for 1hr a week to record sounds .... The prof found that he tried to use 'my sounds to me ' and the my wifes german...In the end 15 months just English Ball to me and mum German ball.... by the time he was 9 was switching between English and German mid sentence depending on whom he was looking at and mum also studied English and literature....rules were she spoke German always since birth and me English ( no problem as I did not know a word ) ...between us always English....He worked that out quickly.... telling her what he wanted in german and then me in english .... INNATE...even his grandmother in the UK learned a few words in punjabi like hungry etc..AMAZING
Superb documentary on babies🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
How cute babies are😍😍😍😍😍
Dear Netflix, when will you upload the second episode of the first season: 'First Food'?
As far as language is concerned. I suggest reading something by the renowned Erik Erikson. He is know for sure very early baby research. I’m sure many strides have been made since his work, but he is a good place to start, I think.
Thank you for making this great documentary. Also, thank you for making the Indonesian subtitle :-)
Such precious beings. As someone once said, "saving a baby isn't necessarily saving a life." I beg to differ.
Someone commented earlier "For the new moms out there, remember that a mother’s joy begins when new life is stirring inside; when a tiny heartbeat is heard for the first time, and a playful kick reminds her that she is never alone 💗" this comment made me think of the "
Good camera and amazing !babies are so cute!
This was so fascinating!- I've often contemplated this as I watch my niece age. She's 3. It blows my mind how the brain works.
Thanks so much for your beautiful knowledgeable episode.
my kids can understand, speak 3 languages .. at 3 .. but not like an adult.. mixing 3 languages in one sentence is hard but in conversation he can do that
thats pretty amazing!!
@@nhathan428 Thanks i guess its about how as parents try to converse with them.
when i took french and spanish at the same time in high school my brain would substitute as needed
So amazing, i love it😍
I am persuaded that we are hard wired to communicate, wherever we are born on this Earth, in a language, of our tribe or community. ❤ I belive I learned by hearing early radio programs circa 1945 before my First birthday...John
Love love only love for this video❤️
TQ for hd video n with no ads. That's make the video better compare to the content.
the main part of a language is not the sound system though. Babies who cannot hear learn the sign language in a very similar way to how hearing babies learn a natural language. This is what the musician + linguists miss
All linguists are aware of that.. I guess "sound system" is just a didactic simplification for "phonologic system", which is early acquired by both hearing and deaf children..
Here I am at 1 a.m trying to get shorts videos because I have to explain speech development theories for my finals exams xD I'm done with the educational theories and tbh I can't go around kidnapping babies just to prove them. It helps a lot when platforms actually take the time to teach something.
Thank Netflex for such a great movies. To cherish more the different phrases developments of children
wonderful work....
I'm 5 months pregnant planning on raising a bilingual baby! I hope she gets a good accent because I sure don't have one haha
I loved it , thanks 🤍
27:24 we know brains have preference for the novel
ty for this video
Thanks Netflix
This is well documented
When a show changes your mind on the choice whether to have children in the future, you know it's a miraculous show.
Babies are so beautiful 💯
You got this and you have 'Cuties'. Bruh, Netflix you so fkd up inside
this is so interesting/fascinating
great documentary.
Praying that everyone falls asleep quickly and has a peaceful sleep. Hope you all wake up happy and well rested 😘😜😘😜
So cute....🥰
Many mummim lovely babies inside: Take care 'em!
Awww so sweet
Kathy Hirsh-Pasek is awesome! :)
Great documentary but this scene as well as the scene in the other episode with various masks makes me think of horror movies where a captive is terrified with bizarre encounters. 😂 Thank goodness they don’t associate yet how bizarre some of this is yet and won’t have memories really if it. Lol
Hermoso documental
Great documentary film about the reality of life.
The producers were able to hide the truth in the fridge. Let's see if someone decoded the message.
Which device model is best? The old or the new? Are the kids born fully equipped with the survival skills, including languages, already embedded in them or not?
Can the one-year-old kids fail to communicate with one another due to language barriers?
Suppose the newborn comes fully equipped to understand everything in this world and loses that capability as they grow. What is it that makes them loses those abilities as they grow older?
Is the 70's, 80's & 90's model the best & fully-equipped model compared to the latest models?
24:07 this is uncanny valley but for sounds 🥴
The father's name is Rich
He was rich since he was named...lol
Aaaawwwww😍🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰how cute
Good one Netflix
My children always watches these video. They think they are understand with this video 😏👩💻💻🇺🇲
Nice Netflix!! Da dome!
But that Daddy!😍
27:40 I don't understand how this conclusion is drawn. I'm a layman in this but it seems to me that the interpretation of the babies' actions can be quite subjective. The woman can almost draw the same conclusion (that the baby can detect which sounds tend to go together) whichever side they look at more.
Thanks
Fascinate
جميل جدااا ..محتوى مفيد
15:07 Did anyone notice the kids in the background? jeje
*I love babies and toddler*
My wife is a linguist, she said listen it is always a consonant followed by a vowel...just practising .... it is so important to speak to little ones...then suddenly papa , mama .... suddenly pick it up.... since months old listen and smile ...then okay gotta try gaga weewee etc.... INNATE ....also innate to trust adults as those who did not listen attacked by wild animals.. ..I am a language teacher and they listen and make them laugh learning.
que episodio es....
Buenazosssssss. Very very interestingggg.
Great soundtrack of intro. What is the name of it?
I'm not sure man, what were your thoughts on the entire series?
Ok, now a study on why every scientist in this documentary used to be some kind of art ho 🤔Is being involved in something creative makes them think of scientific issues creatively?🤔
Am not really into babies but this lowkey inspires me to propagate lmao
Lmao.
My teacher said to watch this video and i think i like it.
I love babies, but can't have one. 😞 I wonder how many would actually be capable to raise kids with current economic state. Not many would be able afford it. 😔
Powerful comment. I know families that have several children that they cant provide $ and worse of all time. The results are very saddening. A lot of different cultures out there.
I could talk in full sentences at 5 months old. I am autistic though and have many unusual skills and differences.
cool video
love this
人の手の暖かさ、温もり。最新コンピューターシステムでも叶わないこと。便利さを求め過ぎないこと。
Well I remember my first memory was of in my head saying full sentences but being not able to speak them which was frustrating. I was only 6 months old. That just tells me that the broca part of the brain develops later.
How do u remember that?😟
Mike Brown I have a really good long term memory
Should've been all narrated by Sir David Attenborough
We tend to forget as parents that for any age child it would be similar if we were placed in unknown busy city all alone. VERY OVERWHELMING even for older children.
I was in Bangkok hanging out with some kids that were international school kids and they all had accents that I could have sworn sounded like they were from California but they told me they had never been to America.

Babies understand sign language easily than words .
Just lost my baby and I keep seeing babies everywhere. Like why did this have to pop up in autoplay? I was watching a war documentary.
Damn world, i lost two babies. Stop rubbing it in.
