IPSYN or similar measure for Spanish and Mandarin speakers

[Ellina Chernobilsky]

I am sorry, there was a typo in the message I had just sent. It shoudl read:

We looked at Russian/English speaking kids, and I am NOW (not "not")
pretty sure that IPSyn can be adapted to other languages as well.

Sorry about that.
Ellina
