Our Language Mission
About Us and Science
bilinguababy.com offers a comprehensive early language acquisition curriculum strategically designed to put your child ahead. Our mission is to provide engaging language which will promote cognitive and social development from embryo through childhood.
The Science Behind Prenatal Language Learning
Scientific studies confirm that babies start recognising and processing sounds while still in the womb. From as early as 15 weeks of gestation, the foetal auditory system develops, allowing the unborn baby to hear and respond to external sounds, including voices and music. I introduced my son to this technique when my wife was just 3 months pregnant.
Through audio, video and interactive sessions, we aim to enhance listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills in a structured and fun manner.
Bilingualism & Cognitive Effects
Exposing babies to multiple languages from an early stage provides numerous cognitive advantages: Increased Neural Plasticity: A study by Mehler et al. (1988) showed that infants exposed to multiple languages early develop stronger neural connections related to language learning. Improved Problem-Solving & Multitasking: Research by Bialystok & Craik (2010) found that bilingual children and adults exhibit enhanced executive function, making them better at problem-solving, multitasking, and decision-making. Delays Onset of Dementia: A study by Bialystok et al. (2007) revealed that bilingual individuals develop dementia on average 4.5 years later than monolinguals, suggesting lifelong cognitive benefits.
Research by Kisilevsky et al. (2003) found that foetuses at 33 weeks gestation can differentiate between their mother's voice and a stranger’s voice. This suggests early auditory learning and memory.
A study by Partanen et al. (2013) demonstrated that foetuses exposed to repeated sounds while in the womb showed neural responses to those same sounds after birth. This implies that learning and memory formation begin before birth.
According to Gervain & Werker (2013), newborns prefer listening to their mother’s native language over foreign languages, indicating in-utero exposure to language plays a role in early linguistic development.
