Bilingual speakers

 

I was wondering if there are some bilingual speakers here on HFE, whose parents speak different languages. Has any of you grown up in bilingual background? Of course, you can also name your relatives, friends, workmates, schoolmates, etc. I would like to know what it is like to be a bilingual speaker, if such a person takes both languages equally as a native.

Yeah, I've been trying to make my daughter bilingual since she was born. :))

But really, my colleague at work (a teacher) is from a bilingual family (father-English, mother-Czech).

As for your daughter you have been trying to make bilingual, how has that been coming along? You on the right path? Any major progress being done and noticed?

Yep, she's 3 now and able to understand practically anything. She speaks mostly Czech, though. But starts to make some English sentences as well.
But you should know this is not an classic example of biling. “upbringing” since I also speaks Czech to her.

I hope there will soon be an article of mine at HFE about this experience. :)

Sure, I know it's a classical example, but still… Pretty good job there, let me tell you, anyway! I guarantee she will really appreciate it once she is old. Anyhow, really looking forward to this article. I am helluva sure a lot of people will get inspired by that bold endeavor you have made there.
