Babies Understanding Languages before Learning to Speak.

This is a response to an Article about babies understanding the language they are hearing in their mothers
  womb at the age of 8monthes and 2 weeks. Christine Moon a physiologist at Pacific Lutheran University in Tacoma, Washington where she and her team is studying how babies inside the womb are learning languages. They are doing a project where they are taking babies from Sweden and babies from the united states ages 7-75 hours old and putting them near headphones where Vowels from the American language and Swedish language is being played. After this experiment they found out that American babies responded more to the Swedish vowels and Swedish babies responded more when American vowels were played. This shows that babies stopped paying attention when their native language was being played since they are already familiar with it.  
While reading this article, it reminded me of my baby brother when he was a couple months old, who is now 1 year old. when he was a couple years old he would make sounds that were similar to the vowels in my native language. When he grew a bit older, he started to put simple vowels together to form simple word like Ma And Baba which means mom and dad, then he learned the meanings of those words.
While reading this article it was very interesting how i can make those connection with my brother, and really interesting about how babies can understand languages before being really exposed to them.
