Yea this is something, I've thought of recently, this explains why children learn more in the first 3 years then the rest of their lives, also the extensive imaginative capabilities and there succeptibilty and willingess to absorb new information (ie.you tell a child the moon is made of cheese, they will more often then not, believe you) until the analytical part of the brain kicks in, ( i think around the age of 3, it might be 6 i forgot..better give the ol' memory supercharger a whizz again :P) The child relies exclusively on its ability to absorb information, ie language, the best way is to absorb it using your imagination and to feel it rather then, "learning it" the conventional way with tedious repetitions of grammar verbs etc.. this stuff is not needed to know how to speak a language as you are conciously thinking of it, slowing you down tremendously, you have to have the language in your subconcious so you speak it without conciously thinking what your doing..(if that makes sense)
