Hearing is a major factor and it is basic to the listening skills, perhaps even more to language learning itself. It is the imitation of what is heard that is produced over speech. A person who hears well may also be able to speak well. While studying hearing, voice, speech, language, social emotional functions and behaviour, we may find that ear is of importance during the infancy stage of early childhood of an individual there is an intense and continuous learning process that takes place based upon listening and movement levels. It has been found that the foetus begins to learn through listening its mothers voice which it senses within the womb. The range and the sound frequency of the mother’s language is exposed to the foetus and gradually the ear get set to the frequency. When the baby goes further it is difficult or less possible to hear other frequencies. This makes language learning a difficult task.
