Georgie and Phil explore how babies learn to talk, focusing on the stage of “babbling” when babies make simple sounds like “ga” or “ma.” They discuss the importance of babies developing mouth muscles and experimenting with sounds. An expert, Professor Julian Pine, explains that babies learn to speak by imitating the adults around them. The episode also introduces new vocabulary, including terms like “babble” (meaningless sounds), “stressed syllable” (emphasized sounds in words), and “error” (a mistake), among others. The question posed was: at what age do babies typically start babbling? The answer is around 6 months old.
