Kid's Galaxy February 2022

From the time we start babbling as babies, we get associated to the languages used around us. Infact, some studies show that babies start listening to, and learning their mother's language even from within the womb! And since we are born being familiar to it, our "mother tongue" or "mother language" plays a really important role in our development. Research shows that children learn better if taught in their mother language, specially in the early years. They're able to communicate better, think and reason easily and share their emotions better. It also becomes easier to learn another language. We can learn the new language keeping our mother tongue as reference! Lastly, speaking our mother language fluently, keeps us grounded and aware of our roots. Every family has its own style of spoken language, and we must appreciate and preserve the uniqueness of our mother language! While English is fast becoming the common language to unite our diverse backgrounds, we must not forget our native mother languages, which have their own beauty and are also our legacy!
