BILINGUALISM: WHAT IS YOUR DEFINITION? I had lived one of the biggest shocks in my life when I learn that I am not considered as a bilingual. I used to think that if you are studying a language and if you have perfected your knowledge and ability in all aspects of that language‚ it is inevitable that you become a bilingual. However‚ I learned to my greatest grief that that is not the case and I have learned English as a foreign language throughout all these years. I have been studying English

one important thing. Is it the way I use my slang? How about the way I spell my name. You claim it as your own‚ but some of us have never known. You’re not the only one trust me.
