Question

I have some questions which my research paper is based on

My questions are :

Do people become bilingual from the childhood??

Does the term bilingualism refers to children who acquire two languages at the same time.....not to people who learn it later....

If there is anyone of you is bilingual.....did you confused between your First language acquisition and second language acquisition when you were a child? and if there is reasons what were the reasons beyond that

thanks in advance and sorry if there is any grammatical mistakes.

Bilingual basically means "being able to speak two languages." Most children will start with one language, whatever language is spoken in the home. Depending on the circumstances, they can very easily learn another language if they are exposed to it. One of my nephews was born in Mexico. The family spoke English in the home, but his friends all spoke Spanish, so he basically learned Spanish and English at the same time and rarely seemed to confuse the two.

A lot of people learn a second language later. I spoke only Low German when I was a small child. When I started going to school, we were not allowed to speak Low German, so I learned English. (My older siblings also spoke English by that time, so it wasn't totally new to me.) In the church I attended, the main language for many years was High German, and I also studied that language in school. As an adult, I studied Spanish and went to Mexico for a number of years as a teacher. Because a lot of the sounds in High German and Spanish are similar, I sometimes confused some of the words, but it was not really a problem.
