Language learning begins with listening. Children are greatly different in the amount of listening they do before they start speaking, and later starters are often long listeners. Most children will “obey” spoken instructions some time before they can speak, though the work “obey” is hardly exact as a description of the eager and delighted co-operation usually shown by the child. Before they can speak, many children will also ask questions by gestures and by making questioning noises.

语言学习是从听开始的。儿童开始说话前的那段听的阶段是有很大区别的。说话晚的孩子听的时间要长一些。许多孩子在开始说话前会‘遵守’（家长的）口头指令，虽然那些‘遵守’并不能表示孩子完全愿意并高兴进行合作。在孩子开始讲话前，许多孩子会用手势及发出询问的声音来提出问题。
