Bilingualism !

Searching about Bilingualism (I hate writing that word, it's almost imposible XD), I coudl understand that a bilingual person is the one who can speak two languages or more in a fluent way ( in the case of more languages is a multilingual person). Those people acquire both languages and are able to develop both languages with the same quality.
Some people have a stronger and a weaker language, but if those people are bilingual, it doesn't mean that they translate to speak, or write, or anything. Bilingual people think, eat, write, sleep, breath both languages in the same way.
If you already know a language, it doesn't mean that you can't learn a new one and assimilate it like your first language. If you study, practice and use that new language it's likely that you're going to learn it like your own, or first language and your're going to be able to use both languages in any situation without translating words.
Also, I searched about kids and bilingualism (wajaja hate that word again), and I learned that there is no evidence of learning another language, or more than one language at the same time, when we're very young it is more difficult. I think that it's even easier for a little child who is recently learning to speak any language, to learn more than one language if people are constantly speaking both languages to the child, so this child can assimilate both languages like a child who learns just one language.
In some countries it's normal to see people who has the hability and capacity to speak two, three, four or more languages because they're culture is bilingual. They use those languages all the time in every area of their lives and that's why is it not difficult for them use a lot of languages.

Now, I let you a video that I found really interesting to know about the importance of beeing bilingual:



It's really important to know other languages in life, and it's really usefull if you can acquire it and become a bilingual person ! I call you to learn more about this and its advantages.
I have no time left sorry...
See you next week ;)

  1. I agree with you in that is easier for a kid to learn 2 different languages. There are also scientific research that can corroborate that.
