Re: Bella, 6-year old Russian polyglot
Although it may be easier for young children to pick up new phonemes, I think she's demonstrating exceptional control of her speech. I have students who are around six and who make sometimes very bewildering pronunciation errors - R becomes D, K becomes P, T and F in free variation, and so on. This is after many months of weekly English classes and practice at home.
