When did you begin talking?

Post Reply New Topic

Said my first words by 6 months, and was talking in short sentences by the time I was a year old. Had my parents very excited. Didn't walk 'til I was almost 2.

I think it was a little over two years, my parents do not remember.

My mom says that I started talking in about 18 months, my first words were (I am not sure if I get the translation right): "rocks, rockies and wires" (my mom also says that I founded these words to be hillarious and kept rocking and saying them for several hours afterwards)

I am not sure. I know I was babbling before a year old and then I stopped completely when I was one. I didn't start talking until I was four according to my mother but before that I was saying words like "no" and "a done" for all done and "take him" when I tried to get rid of my little brother. Plus I made up my own words too. But I was five when I started talking more and I was six when I was clear to understand and I became a big talker.

One of my uncles didn't start talking until he was three. My son still isn't talking much except he says "uh oh" and "mom" and "dada" and that is all I hear. But he babbles and tries to say other words sometimes.

according to my mother, i said complete sentences at age one year. but my mother says a lot of things, and it sometimes wishful thinking.
i barely spoke as a child, i knew how, just couldnt bring myself to talk. when asked a question, i'd nod. when wanting something, i'd get a person's attention and then look at what i wanted. sometimes i didnt even want to do that and ended up without what i wanted, or wouldnt get help if having a problem. i spoke to family memebers, though.
i still avoid talking to strangers sometimes. i'd reather walk in another aisle in the supermarket than say "excuse me" when someone blocks my way. i dont always want to talk. i had a problem approaching the cashier at mcdonalds to place an order and hated greeting customers when i started working in a fast food business.

I started talking at age four, when I whispered a sentence of my own into the ear of the babysitter like I was telling her a big secret. After that, I said a sentence of my own very occasionally, like once eberry few months, until I was eight, when I learned to talk for eberryday communication. Until then, I was almost completely silent, with a little bit of echolalia, a little bit of recitation of verses and songs that I had heard, and the very occasional own-speak. No functional communication or conversation though, like telling things or answering questions. This same babysitter whom I spoke to was obsessed with epic poetry, so she spent most of our time together reading me epic poetry for me to repeat back like a tape recorder, while the other few children that she took care of at her house played with each other. iMother tells me that I was the favorite of this old lady. I think that this echo echo echo echo echo echo echo may have helped my speech development, because I said the most words in the presence of this particular babysitter, and so did being taught a foreign language eggsplicity starting around age eight. I still have a lot of echolalia, causing some embarrassing moments of repeating multiple times the words of random strangers or people I know in groups, but I just pretend that nothing happened.

My cousin was also a late talker, but after he started talking, he talked very fluently and a lot lot lot.

I said my first words around 18 months of age, but I didn't start communicating until I was 4. Once I started talking, there was no shutting me up.

I never babled. I said my first word at 3. but mum does not know what it was becuase they could not understand me. I did some of repeating things. that was also hard to understand. I did repeating until I was a tenager. Then I started more of my own words. I still do some repeating. I have trouble speaking. becuase I have some musle problems.

I didn't start talking until I was 3. I had said the occasional word up until then, but no communicative phrases at all. But one day my brother (who was about 8 at the time) was talking to me and my nan said something like "you know he can't talk!" and I suddenly came out with "I can talk", and from then on I have been very talkative with people I know.

I think I always had the ability to talk well before I was 3, but just never thought to use it to communicate with others. Maybe I thought they could hear what I was thinking or something like that.

I started speaking a little earlier than the usual age. By the time I was 2 I spoke in grammatically-correct sentences (ie more than just "Go bye-bye" or something like that). I always spoke a lot, more than I should have! My parents couldn't shut me up.

I was almost 3 when I started talking.

From what my parents have told me, I began at a "normal" time, but regressed soon after and had to relearn a lot through speech therapy, and even then for a while I'd only repeat phrases I'd heard without actually knowing what they meant.

I said my first word at 10 months, and started walking at 15 months.

Not sure if that's early, late or on time...
