Imagine humans started with sounds like 'ah' or 'uh', like babies today. Over time, these sounds grew into full languages. Some languages are easier to learn because they follow rules our brains already know, just like how a child learns to count by ones first.
Examples
- A baby says 'mama' because that's the first sound they hear.
- If you speak Russian, it might be easier to pick up Ukrainian.
