Babbling while Learning

[darkchild]

How many of you babble while learning a language? Does it sound funny to you or hideous? I noticed while learning a language, some of the words may be similar to my native language and I tend to babble a lot which makes me laugh that there are similarities in many languages.

How often do you babble while learning?

What exactly do you mean by "babble"?  Is it speaking gibberish or just going on and on, sort of like rambling?

Though your question is a bit vague, OP, I'll try to answer as best as possible...

I babble even when I'm not necessarily "learning".  Sometimes I just need to stretch out my mouth and see what new sounds I can make.  Humans are capable of a lot of different sounds, some that we even forget throughout the course of our lives.  When I get fuddled while speaking Japanese, however, it's not really babble.  I sound more like I'm getting trampled by a horde of hungry businessmen. French, on the other hand, I fumble with words so much that I do sound like a babbling child sometimes.

While learning language, it is very common for me to continuously repeat words. Sometimes I also say the sentence again and again. This helps me memorize the words and sentences. For people I may look  like babbling like a child, but in fact I am learning language. I always learn new things by reading aloud or speaking loudly.

I sometimes babble when I am not learning   But I also do it when I am learning,  I did it a lot when i was first learning to speak English and then dutch. It helps a lot to know what noises you can make.  You know, check your own limits and so on.
