Because I'm writing fluff (again) and had a big brain moments. Enjoy if you'd like!
Spider is an observational learner. He has to see the action or the thing being done, and then he will try to copy it as best as he can.
He's used this for everything, from how to shoot a bow, to how to speak Na'vi (with Professor Norm's help of course), how to climb trees.
Even how to walk. He would just sit in one of the labs in Hell's Gate, with his big brown eyes staring as the scientists wandered past, most of them wiggling their fingers at him to get him to giggle
Also, Spider as a baby has the cutest yet insane giggles. Like I'm talking back of the throat, red faced cackles that could be heard from the other side of the base.
He is also very smart. He only has to see the action a couple times before he tries to copy it almost near perfectly. It's why he can keep up with most of the Na'vi kids until they outgrow him physically.
it also counts for stuff like music. He hears it twice? That melody is now an earworm and will be stuck with him for the rest of his life. Or until another one comes along to take its place.
Catch him unironically humming something from the early 21st century like a Queen Bey song and every single person in the lab turns annoyed knowing eyes to Norm. Who looks very sheepishly proud in the corner.
