Children are born with innate abilities, which allow them to learn their parents' language by themselves. Can we implement these capabilities in the robots of the future? will they be able to learn any language on their own?
Why not, if we programmed robot to do learning, they will learn anything, might be superficially, not with complex human emotions; but still, it is possible through human intelligence to advance artificial intelligence.
Few projects targeting language acquisition by children by connectionist experts like Rumelhart and McClelland based on designing artificial intelligence (AI) have revealed that what you have astutely conceived is a desire which will be actualized in a near future.
