I. A parent comes to your school/office and asks you about the "best way" to foster language development for their 10-month-old, monolingual infant . The parents then want to know what to expect at around the 12-month-old mark, 2-year-mark, and then at the 5-year-mark regarding language development specifics. We can assume that this baby is a typically developing infant.

II. The parents also ask you about a language-learning philosophy that you follow, please pick the philosophy of your choice to discuss one that you agree with, and one that you wouldn't agree with.

III. The parents then ask you about your own experience with language learning, please discuss social pragmatic specifics and lexical/vocabulary language specifics.
