Things Only Bilinguals Will Understand

If you are a bilingual person, you will understand these things, but if you are not, I don’t think you will understand. First, you may feel like you have multiple personalities; one for each language. Your behaviour and attitude change as soon as you switch from one language to another. Also, because you speak different languages, of course, you have more than one keyboard on your phone and having to switch between them until you get the language you want. Additionally, when you watch a movie, you do not need to read the subtitle which is a great thing. However, you may met some people who asked you to say something in the other language that you know, at that moment your mind just goes blank. On the other hand, you can talk behind someone’s back, but at the same time, you are in front of them smiling. In the end, I’m sure all these things only bilingual people will understand.
