How do children in multilingual households differentiate between the two (or more) languages they’re being taught?
In: Other
As a young boy, I was raised speaking English in the USA, we lived in Cairo Egypt. We spoke Arabic at home with the household staff and I went to a school run by French Nuns.
At that age I had no understanding that I was using three different languages. What I did know is that if the English didn’t work I would try in French or Arabic until I got a response.
I had zero understanding that they were different but I did understand that people might not reply so to try and express myself in a different way.
