❝Mummy, I can talk inside my head!❞
I’m not really sure at exactly what age I said that to my mother but I can’t have been much more than three or four years old. It’s probably the earliest memory I have that has anything to do with language and communication.
My mother also told me stories about how I was an early speaker and that my older brother got me to say difficult words when I was only a year old. I guess it isn’t really that strange that I ended up being someone who loves words and languages!
