Then children use "semi-words". A semi-word is a short word or a shorten long word that expresses an idea or a thought.
Children feel the urge to express their findings. A child can be outside and rush inside to tell the parents what he/she saw. Also it is a way to express that something is wrong. I went to a class and the father came just when I was leaving. His smallest child said "suit". Probably, because I was there, the father stayed with his suit on a little longer than usual.
At this point it is very important to use even more words, more difficult words, phrases. They are learning how to think using the language.
The joy to communicate through the language has born and at the age of two, they don't stop. The story becomes more and more egocentric. They don't lie, because they don't have that concept yet. Their learning has made by abilities and facts.
After the age of two, changes take place: the intellectual content of parents' talking improves the child's intellect and they learn when and how to talk less.
Now my question is: how to make this work for a second language?
