Most kids can start speaking at one year, right? I'm not sure how well they can speak at 2 but a cousin of mine could barely speak at age five. She was extremely late of course, but it's interesting (to me anyway).

No worries. With few exceptions you have to be bad at something before you can be good at it. Keep working at it and you'll get it. It's not exactly easy, but if you work at it you can learn to speak it well and then you'll be glad of all the effort.

It takes adults years to learn a new language, just be patient.

On the otherhand, if you can completely immerse yourself in the language (ie. move to france), you should be fluent in a year or so.

Garbled gibberish, like every other baby in the world. ;p I actually tend to like to look at it that way, since we all start out knowing the same language (though it happens to be none, technically) we all can learn any language out there. Just my little semi-inspritational thought of the day.

But to answer the question I'd assume it's like most babies and it's a word they've heard and attempt to imitate up to that point. So probably prere or mere or a cuss word.

Actually I think my first word was damn. I've known several people whose first word was a cuss word.

As far as I can tell it's fairly random what the first word is, though on a large scale I'd imagine it would be a word the child hears often (which would explain why they would say mama or dada [or it's equivalent in whatever language] since most parents say "say hi to mama/dada" or whatever when attempting to coax the child into speaking) and attempts to imitate.

But in isolated cases, it can be some really off the wall word that the child heard once and imitated (possibly even some length later). It just varies from case to case.

When will the rumors end! Next weeks' magazine's will proudly declare "Infidelity in the Chatelain house!" (except in French, y'know, cause they're in France and stuff). ;p

Heh, as I've mentioned elsewhere, my ability to read and write French is far inferior to my ability to speak or understand it, but if I properly read the article that magazine had, it was somewhat amusing to me.

Looking at the pictures, I was thinking it was going to be some scandelous tabloid/paparazzi thing. Reading it though, it sounded like they were tracking her actions, and kept coming to the conclusion that she was happy being a mom, and was very attentive to her child. Hardly the sort of thing that hits the tabloid front pages I'm familiar with :-)
