Pets Need Mind-to-mind Communication with UsDIndividuals who learn two languages at an early age seem to switch back and forth between separate sound systems for each language, according to a new study. The study looked at 32 Spanish-English early bilingual (双语的)
29、 speakers, who had earned their second language before age 8. They were presented with words beginning with a pa or a ba sound. While pa and ba sounds exist in both English and Spanish, how those sounds are produced and perceived in the two languages varies slightly. For example, Spanish speakers pr
30、oduce pa in a manner similar to English ba. As a result, English-only speakers might. in some cases, confuse the ba and pa sounds they hear in Spanish, explains Kalim Gonzales, lead author on the study.

31、ould be hearing rare words in Spanish, while the other was told they would be hearing rare words in English. Both groups heard audio recordings of variations of the same two words-bafri and pafri-which are not real words in either language. Participants were then asked to identify whether the words
32、they heard began with a ba or a pa sound. The findings: Participants perceived ba and pa sounds differently depending on whether they were told they were hearing Spanish words. or whether they were told they were hearing English words.

The general view is that bilinguals will never be able to perceive a second language beyond wh
