Although the child’s own conversation is still incomprehensible and mostly gibberish, she has already developed the ability to grasp spoken language. The ability, which is known as “receptive language,” is the first crucial step toward speaking fluently.

This receptive language skill is continuously evolving ever since the child first hears the sound of an adult's voice in the mother’s womb.
