#didyouknow? #languagelearningfacts The language developed to strengthen social ties amongst our ancestors. A study of macaque monkeys supports the idea that languages may have evolved to replace grooming as a better way of forging interpersonal bonds. But another theory is that our ancestors began to develop language by imitating natural sounds, like bird calls and animal noises. And another theory is that human communication may have started with the emanation of involuntary sounds: distress sounds from pain or surprise, or wails of sadness, or cheers of joy or triumph.

#didyouknow? #languagelearningfacts Language is thought to have originated circa 100,00 BC. The question of how old language is still being debated, but most linguists agree that it began around the time when modern humans (homo sapiens) evolved in Africa with modern skull shapes and modern vocal chords. With the proper tools in place — skull size, brain, and voice box — it should have meant the development of language. Some anthropologists even speculate that language could have developed prior to the physiological development of modern brains and larynges, but 100,000 BC is a good starting point from which to begin.

Often parents ask how they can help their kids in their learning process. This article has a few very good insights!

Quite an interesting article on kids and spelling words the proper way!

#didyouknow? #languagelearningfacts The oldest known languages include Sanskrit, Sumerian, Hebrew, and Basque. But, the only reason we really know this is because there is a written record of those languages. The answer to the question, “What is the oldest language?” can never truly be answered, as it doesn’t take spoken languages with oral traditions into consideration.

Want your child to learn by doing something unique and absolutely cool? How about having them learn languages, programming but also art, film and sport? We have just opened the registrations to our fall camps @ Spoken! Two weeks this year: 23-27 October and 30 October-3 November! Not to be missed! #spoken #fall #camps #languages #programming #art #film #sport #brussels

#didyouknow? #languagelearningfacts Over 300 languages are spoken in the United States, but South Africa holds the record for the country with the most official languages (11). Of the population of the United States, 21% of citizens five years and older speak another language at home. Of that 21 percent, 62% speak Spanish. And of those Spanish speakers, 56% speak English “very well.”
