English

A child's first word is one of the great milestones in life. For most children this happens when they are around 12 months old, give or take a few　weeks in either direction. On average, a child has 10 words in his or her vocabulary by age 15 months and 50 words by age 18 or 19 months. And, yes, it's true that the first words learned by children the world over are usually the names for "mother" and "father." They get a lot of help with this, though.

子どもが初めて言葉を話す瞬間は、人生の中でももっとも素晴らしい節目のひとつです。大半の子どもは、数週間前後するにしても、生後12か月ほどで話し始めます。生後15か月になると平均で10語ほどのボキャブラリーを要し、18～19か月目には50語ほどを話すのが一般的です。ちなみに、多くの場合子どもが最初に覚える言葉は「ママ」や「パパ」を意味する言葉です。もちろんその言葉を話すに至るには、たくさんの助けが必要です。
