Children who could hear and see were capable of acquiring language without any particular effort. The words that fell from others' lips would be instantly caught on the wing by them. But for a little deaf child, the process of acquiring language was tedious and laborious. At first, when her teacher told her about a new thing, Helen would ask very few questions because her ideas were vague and vocabulary inadequate. But as her knowledge of things grew, she learned more and more words, her field of inquiry broadened and she would return again and again to the same subject, eager for further information. Sometimes, a new word would revive an image that some earlier experience had engraved on her brain.
