Communication: Talking, Baby Yoda Style
You have been conversing with an adorable baby for months, who replied mostly in coos or cries. Now, brace yourself for the emergence of the 'Toddler Talk.' Imagine teaching English to an alien or perhaps being a character in a bizarre sitcom where the rules of language are rewritten daily.
