[QUOTE="Panda-s1, post: 7930661, member: 59554"] hey man, I drove from Seattle all the way to Los Angeles once, I didn't notice the Earth was curving, the Earth must be flat right? this is science. I shouldn't have to defend this, but here we are. people who actually study language and how human use language for a living say "hey, these animals actually aren't using language" but apparently that's not good enough for some people. I wanna say if you don't want to believe me there's a whole lot of information out there, but even after I posted some stuff here I'm still being told that I'm wrong. okay cool. if you want your explanation 1) your niece isn't fluent in any language. 2) she is learning language. mostly on her own. assuming people keep talking to her and around her she will become fluent in 1-3 years.
