Why Language Learning Should Start Before Toddlers

Can babies really learn a second language — even before they can talk?

In this episode, I’m joined by Christine Barry, creator of JoJo Learning – Sing & Learn Chinese Baby & Me, an interactive book designed for babies 6 months and up.

We talk about why early language exposure matters, how music and sound support brain development, and how parents can introduce Chinese naturally through play — even if they don’t speak the language themselves.

This interactive book features buttons that play songs and real Chinese pronunciation, making language learning a shared experience for parents and babies.

If you’re a parent interested in early learning, bilingual exposure, or educational tools that actually work, this conversation is for you.
