Things Bilingual People Do
Video Overview & Insights
I think that being able to speak multiple languages is one of the coolest skills you can have in life. But I also noticed that my bilingual friends sometimes do things a little bit differently than the rest of us... (I'm like 1.2-lingual lol) Did you relate to any of these? Are there any I missed? I really enjoyed making this video so if you want to see more videos like this, let me know in the comments!
Has anyone ever experienced starting to literally THINK in english one day instead of their native language?
Thank you to all my friends, who are beautiful inside and out:
Jay / Justin / Becca / Ying / Joseph / Spurthi / Calvin / Mady / & myself of course ;)

We bilingual people could be very unreliable in court cases because we don't actually remember the language. Like, someone or we would be talking in one language but our brain only registered the info, not necessarily the language.

@ShizukuTheDragoonI study in a language, while at home I speak another language. The country's official language is different than the school's ones, and English is pretty common too to hear here and there. When the time comes to explain things, here's where the polyglot problems begin 😭
