The American public school system did my little sister so dirty when they told my mom to stop speaking German to her. They insisted it would make it harder for her with her ADHD and now she struggles to understand German at all. It's such a goddamn shame.

Having two native languages (Italian and [British] English) has given me many advantages (including facility with learning more languages); my husband is Japanese and we're now raising our children trilingually. I hope this gives them advantages which outweigh the initial annoyance of learning multiple writing systems.

I am an Indian and I speak/understand close to 9 languages. 😂

By default most modern Indians are tri-lingual.

I am listening to this video in my second language 😂

I learned Japanese in the 2nd grade. It disappoints me knowing this language is forgotten and inaccessible somewhere in the recesses of my mind. And Spanish in high school because a second language at the time I attended was a graduation requirement.

I mean, technically we all speak all languages, we simply don't understand how the sounds match the subject til we make the connection.
