I should've mentioned this in my sociolinguistics class, and the professor won't be back until MONDAY...
We were talking about (among other things) backchannel support (saying stuff like "yeah" or "uh-huh" in a conversation) and I forgot all about it, people learn that early. Ana's been able to hold her own in a conversation for months now, all on the strength of yeah-nod-smile.
Well. Maybe he won't care to hear that. It's not that interesting unless you've got THE smartest niece and nephew in the world, after all :)
