Exactly. I also grew up to be bilingual from a young age, and I didn&#x27;t  learn my second language in a way an adult would, by connecting foreign words with the words you already know from your first language, but in a way a toddler would, just by listening to it and maybe some reading.<p>After I began to think in English (my second language), I found that I wasn&#x27;t speaking my first language anymore, I was just translating to it from my second one. And because the two weren&#x27;t connected in my brain, I started frequently forgeting words and having trouble with phrasing.
