Physical Response to Commands

Language Acquisition (Second Language Exposure)

Your child understands basic, repetitive commands or greetings in the second language and can respond with the correct physical action, even if they aren't talking back in that language yet.

In real life

A local friend or instructor says "Ven aquí" or "Asseyez-vous," and your child naturally walks over or sits down because they understand the verbal cue.
