Language Exposure

Language exposure refers to the experience of hearing, reading, or interacting with different languages. It significantly influences how we learn and understand those languages. For example, a child who grows up in a bilingual household is exposed to both languages regularly, helping them acquire vocabulary, pronunciation, and grammar naturally. Similarly, full immersion in a language—through conversation, media, or culture—enhances proficiency. The more one engages with a language, the better one becomes at understanding and using it effectively, making it a crucial factor in language acquisition and literacy development.
