Great essay! I can relate as my kids are also being raised in a bilingual household here in shanghai. When they grow up they will be amazingly thankful that they were given the opportunity and environment to become perfectly fluent in two or even three languages. These are rare and precious gifts
It’s so astonishingly cool. I’m sure my youngest one will have a very different language journey, and it’ll be interesting to see how that plays out over the next few years.
