I am joking with the terminology, but I don't believe B.S.'s claim that they were able to do human language learning without 'labelling'.

It's a valid way to learn a second language in the same script, see Lingua Latina for example, but how can you possibly learn a first language or a new script without being told the sounds characters make? You can learn to listen/comprehend and speak by in immersion like that, but not reading & writing.
