In the readings, I thought that the multilingual competence was one note-worthy to point out. It is described as the compound state of a mind with two or more grammars. What caught my attention with this was how English is the most common L2 language. Why not another language?
Another section in the reading I felt necessary to share was the stimulus-response theory. It tells how children learn by imitation and that it is true that initial language learning can be due to this imitating of sounds. However, many of these sounds are original and there isn't an explanation for it. That baffles me and I found it very interesting.
