   Apparently when a poor child does it it's not impressive.

     @marcolgato @Radical_EgoCom My kid was barely monolingual by 2, so yeah, I wonder.

     Full SVO sentences in first first language at two-something, second language at three-something, second first language at four-something when we moved to his mother's city.

     Couple of things.

     1. I don't believe it.

     2. If it was true I think it's impressive given that neither parent is bilingual.

     Source: I am a first generation immigrant and despite speaking to my children 100% in my mother language from the day they were born, neither of them speak it (but they do understand me).

     @Radical_EgoCom just imagine what disgusting comments the media would make if this was one of Harry/Meghan’s kids. They are training their children their children to be spies.

     @marcolgato Maybe the two languages are English English and US English. 😁

     @marcolgato @Radical_EgoCom It's entirely normal at 2 to be able to speak multiple languages. It's also normal to still be pre-verbal.
