Recently a video went viral of a baby talking - or babbling - with a Liverpool accent.

Including the surprising reasons who children make mistakes like saying "nana" instead of banana, or "I play football yesterday" instead of "I played football yesterday." Plus, did you know verbs and nouns go to different parts of the brain?
