Language acquisition is the process by which humans acquire the capacity to perceive and comprehend language, as well as to produce and use words and sentences to communicate.

Language acquisition is one of the quintessential human traits, because non-humans do not communicate by using language.

Language acquisition usually refers to first-language acquisition, which studies infants' acquisition of their native language.

This is distinguished from second-language acquisition, which deals with the acquisition (in both children and adults) of additional languages.

Biologically, a child (plural: children) is a human being between the stages of birth and puberty.

The legal definition of child generally refers to a minor, otherwise known as a person younger than the age of majority.

English is either the official language or one of the official languages in almost 60 sovereign states.

It is the most commonly spoken language in the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, Australia, Ireland, and New Zealand, and is widely spoken in some areas of the Caribbean, Africa, and South Asia.

A picture dictionary or pictorial dictionary is a dictionary where the definition of a word is displayed in the form of a drawing or photograph.

Picture dictionaries are useful in a variety of teaching environments, such as teaching a young child about their native language, or instructing older students in a foreign language, such as in the Culturally Authentic Pictorial Lexicon.

Picture dictionaries are often organized by topic instead of being an alphabetic list of words, and almost always include only a small corpus of words.
