Kept Wanting To Write Bisexual Instead Of Bilingual - Tumblr Posts

pros of being a polyglot who was raised bilingual:

• it's easy for me to switch my brain to another language (for example, i was raised speaking to my father in english exclusively and my mother in french exclusively, so i can ask my dad something in english and then switch to tell my mom something in french without missing a beat)

• i find it easy to pick up a new language

• people think it's cool when i say stuff in the languages i know

cons of being a polyglot who was raised bilingual:

• i mix up english and french constantly because i live in a bilingual part of the world

• i mix up the other languages i know without realizing, which leads to me starting a sentence in japanese, throwing in some spanish in there and finishing that same sentence in ukrainian

• some people seem to assume that since i have a solid base in six languages that i must know every single language that god created and i often get asked "is this korean? you speak korean right?" but i'm being shown something in a random language i don't know
