Question: How does a young child learn a language and what are some development stages ( eg , gurgling , adding consonants)?

The stages of child language acquisition include the babbling stage at about 6-8 months where they repeat the same syllables over and over again, the one-word stage when they migrate to being able to produce single-word utterances at about 9-18 moths, the two-word stage at about 18-24 months where they can put two words together, usually in grammatical order, the telegraphic stage or early multiword stage where they speak in sentences but miss a lot of words out at about 24-30 months and then the later multiword stage where grammatical structures emerge after 30 months.
