Ayden Campos · Answer 1

Between 6 and 12 months, babies can literally "hear" the specific sounds of all languages spoken. When compared to adults, babies are better at hearing the differences between the sounds of non-native languages. But by 12 months, babies are losing this ability to hear these differences.

I mean, I think this is more of a psychology question, but yeah. I believe its around 12 month.
