ah, what was that? That's sort of both the involuntary and a little bit of, yeah, talking out loud that's not communicated, but is just basically expressing the surprise of the situation.

I could do it more.

No, no. I think we're good.

There's some suggestion that that thinking or talking out loud while problem solving in your native strongest language versus your second language, even if you're still fluent, it's not as good as your strongest language. There's some suggestion there that problem solving works somewhat differently in that people who are talking in their second language,

are more logical than in their native language. I am not really convinced about the explanations for this, but the most popular explanation is that people are more emotional in their native language. It's what they grew up with as a little kid. It's where their original family ties lie. And so there's more emotionality in thinking through a problem speaking in their native language.

But for those who have a second language handy that they learned a bit later in life, they don't have that many emotional connections and they're able to more home in on just the most logical aspects of the story. That's the best explanation that exists right now. I think it's a kind of new effect and it needs a bit more checking up on.

So because talking is so important to the person doing the talking, it follows that a kid's talking is really important to their own cognitive and language development. I think this is an important message because parents have heard a lot of messages about how it is so important for the parents to talk to the kid.

And they haven't heard the message that actually the kid's own talking and the amount of back and forth real conversation that parents have with their kids, the kid's own communication is important. at least as important as the amount of language that the parent is spreading out in the environment to the kid. And that is not only interesting, but it has consequences for parenting today.
