Nelson Mandela's Long Walk To Freedom

In Long Walk to Freedom (1995), Nelson Mandela used to go like this “Without language, one cannot talk to people and understand them; one cannot share their hopes and aspirations, grasp their history, appreciate their poetry, or savor their songs.” Indeed, it is undeniable that languages have played a major role in human’s life. Yet, it use calls for an intricate web of skills we usually take for granted. Using language seems to be as natural as breathing or walking.
But babies are not born talking. They learn language, starting immediately from birth. So what do they learn? When do children master the skills needed for using language successfully? What stages do they go through as they learn to understand and talk? In this essay, people will
