Therefore, it has been assumed that a teacher must be aware of socio-cultural differences to operate effectively in the classroom.

To guard against the baneful influence exerted by strangers is therefore an elementary dictate of savage prudence.

The tribes to the north were, in the language of the valley-confederates, "Chichimecas,"—a word yet undefined, but apparently synonymous, in the conceptions of the "Nahuatl"-speaking natives, with fierce savagery, and ultimately adopted by them as a warlike title. .

The apparent easiness with which humans learn their native language during the first years of life, is intriguing. Not only do young children readily soak up any of the thousands of possible human languages, but they also learn to understand a huge variety of radically different pronunciations – mum and dad, the neighbours, the fisherman at the street corner, people speaking other dialects, stuttering infants, and toothless grandparents.
