IIRC, that’s a misconception. They had no microphone (although a speaker can technically be one). They did not have the ability to record new information, and were preprogrammed to seem to “develop” knowledge of the local market’s language. They didn’t actually learn to talk, because they lacked the necessary hardware.
Not just a speaker, but a microphone as well. They would record what you said then play it back in the furby voice. That’s how they “learned to talk.”
