Onto French and Russian, Russian is the second language in my country after Persian, and we do speak a bit of Russian with my folks and friends, making it my second most understood language. On the other hand, French is a language I studied at the university, so I got to know it later when I was grown enough. I occasionally use French when travelling and sometimes in business transactions with individuals from French countries. I can comfortably converse in both languages and read texts written in both French and Russian. Last but not least, I also understand and can speak a bit of Turkish, which I learned while growing up from the societal setup I was brought up in. I use it mostly when visiting the neighborhood where I grew up, listening to and holding conversations in Turkish.

Bilingualism also has demerits linked to it; they include factors such as; Language Fluency Delay: Speech delay is sometimes mistaken with language delay. According to studies, speech delay is not caused by bilingualism; nevertheless, when an individual attempts to acquire or master two languages, they may take longer to become proficient in these languages, resulting in language fluency delay (Sandoval & Salmon, 2010). Language Mixing: It is typical to see someone begin a phrase in one language and conclude it in another. People tend to speak and express themselves using whatever words come naturally. The dominance of one language over the other: Bilingual persons may choose to speak one language more than the other, resulting in dominant languages. Finally, being responsive to bilingualism refers to an individual's capacity to speak one language, comprehend another, but not speak it. Most of the time, this is due to a genuine need for the language and a lack of enough exposure to the language. In receptive bilinguals, a lack of vocabulary is a significant element to consider.
