I seem to have missed this when first posted. Interesting stuff.

This caught my attention. It really shows how children are sponges and adapt so much better than adults.

"Small children notice small differences in pronunciation that their parents are deaf to. We chose a name for our daughter that worked as either an English or a Spanish name and was pronounced, we thought, in, the same way (we weren't thinking about French then). A few years later I noticed that she pronounced her own name in three different ways, according to who she was speaking to (strong initial and penultimate stress in English, weaker penultimate stress in Spanish, very little stress in French, with three different sets of vowels and consonants."
