Species learn from species.

Babies learn languages through interaction with human beings, not through teaching aids like DVD or sound making educational toys. If you have to go to work, you should make arrangement to send your baby to a quality playgroup. Your baby will learn from exposure and interaction with people, at a staggering speed of 700 connections of synapses per second.

Let your baby join the world tour in the Gifted Babies program. Your child will be received by a native teacher from the country he/she visits that day, participate in games, songs and stories using the language of the country your child visits on that day.

Your baby can visit 5 countries from Monday to Friday. Playing and singing with the teacher from that country will help build up self-confidence, prolong the attention span, build up an enormous data base that facilitate voice recognition, thus enhancing language skill, and quick response, thus having a higher IQ. Time is precious. Start early. Start now!

Two interesting researches were conducted on early language acquisition at the University of Washington in Seattle
in 2003 and 2008.

The 1st experiment was conducted in 2003. A group of 9 month old babies attended 12 sessions of playgroups in Putonghua. In a subsequent test, the babies were able to recognize all the Putonghua sounds.

The control group watch and listen to what was going on in the playgroup next door through video conferencing. They were able to recognize any Putonghua sounds.

The 2nd experiment was conducted in 2008. Two group of babies of similar age, with those who had been learning from Baby Einstein for quite a while, and another group of babies who had not learned from the educational DVD.

Babies who had been learning from DVD knew fewer vocabulary than the group who had never learned from DVD.

The findings shocked America. Walt Disney had to made a US$1 billion refund to parents who bought Baby Einstein DVD.
