Thank you very much for your reply.
I find some differences between your/my specialty/interests, when I visit your web page of ***
Most people (and I also) have studied English; but, Koreans (and I also) have particular difficulties in English-hearing & pronunciation. As you see my home page, I have intensively study/written English phonetics/pronunciation/etc.
While study/writing on phonetics/pronunciation/etc., I have found the fact that the vocabularies and grammar(s) of all languages are already stored in human brain at birth. That is, your brain now has the vocabulary and grammar of Korean language (and Chinese, Japanese, etc. included) and my brain also now has the vocabulary and grammar of *** language (and German, French, etc. included). We only do not have effective/efficient experience/chance to use them.
And I now find current English grammar/writing has many errors and English speaking has many significant problems at the same time. I am now writing it on my home page. My original specialty was Electronic engineering.

Dear Young-Won Kim: I certainly agree with you that PHONETICS has been badly neglected in modern Linguistics. In fact the INTONATION of a sentence can change its meaning entirely. I am not sure whether ALL FOREIGN LANGUAGES with their words and grammars are inside a newborn's head; I rather believe that the POTENTIAL to learn any language is there as an innate HUMAN ABILITY. You deserve heartfelt congratulations! Keep up the good work. - - - - - - - - - - ,

Dear Dr. ***:
> In fact the INTONATION of a sentence can change its meaning entirely.
* INTONATION/prosody is only very small portion in phonetics.
> I am not sure whether ALL FOREIGN LANGUAGES with their words and grammars are inside a newborn's head; I rather believe that the POTENTIAL to learn any language is there as an innate HUMAN ABILITY. You deserve heartfelt congratulations! Keep up the good work.
* Believe or not, I have found that ALL (FOREIGN) LANGUAGES with their words (except some special words/neologisms like "NATO") and grammars are (already) inside a newborn's head. If you read the article/subjects of "148 How are NUMBERs of English and Korean/Japanese/Chinese/etc. articulated/spoken?", "179 Root or stem?? << cih/칳 >> 아리랑 [(ŋ)a ri raŋ]", etc.  http://voicespec.com/board.cgi?id=test1, you may catch some clues.
Some phonetics-related academicians say their main research/interest is (on) how babies (can) learn speaking so fast. Now I can say that babies (can) learn speaking fast since they already have mother-tongue vocabulary/grammar in their brains. They just need tuning for use of their mother tongue. I have found how to tune for speaking of any specific language consciously/artificially, on which I am writing. My web data show some Polishes visit my home page continuously.
Even though We have a bicycle, we must learn how to ride it. Our computers already have many functions/software/programs; but, we know/use only small/limited portion of them. Though the vocabularies and grammar(s) of all languages are already stored in human brains at birth, people (unconsciously) can use only their mother tongue effectively/efficiently.
