The real, the funny, the sad, and the embarrassing

1. Explaining to people that you understand, speak, read, and write perfectly in both languages.

2. That awkward moment when you speak both languages and understand what the people at the next table are talking about.

3. That other awkward moment when you are speaking one language but unconsciously change to the other and everyone is looking at you like...

4. When you can remember a word in the other language but not in the language you are having the conversation in and — ugh, frustrating!

5. Being able to correctly pronounce “foreign” words in class and the teacher ALWAYS picks you to say them.

6. When you were little, getting in trouble while your friends were over was super awkward because your mom would yell at you in another language.

7. That “oh, shit” moment when your parents talked to you in something other than English.

8. Having two or more language keyboards on your phone and people asking why.

9. Or typing on the wrong one without realizing it and the sentence making no sense.

10. Language class was super easy in high school because you had a natural talent for languages.

11. Or not having to take a foreign language class at all.

12. Feeling super cool when you were little because, while all your friends were learning their “second language," Pig Latin or Gibberish, you who actually spoke a second language looked at them like they were from another planet.

13. Knowing that you can go to another country and fully understand everyone there.
