This article was interesting in that you wouldn't really think about this unless you grew up in a bilingual house. Even then you may not realize that you have had to listen and grow up trying to discern between two languages. Babies can actually tell the difference and that fascinates me.

I found this article from Andrew Stoops. Thanks man! I really liked it because because I come from a semi-bilingual family. My mom spoke fluent English and I either lived with my grandparents or they lived with me, and they really only knew Spanish, they knew very little English. I could have very easily learned Spanish well and be able to speak it but because I didn't need it outside of the house I never learned to use it. I really envy those that grew up speaking both languages. 

This article talks about the benefits of teaching children more than one language. I think that Kinds should learn more than one language. Learning more than one language allows to communicate with all different types of people from all different places around the world. I wish that my parents knew a second language that they could have taught me. My friend Summer's mom speaks fluent spanish. I often hear her speaking it around the community and to other people that she knows can speak Spanish. But she didn't teach it to Summer or her siblings and Sumer wishes that she would have so that she wouldn't be taking spanish in high but she could learn another language instead.
