"Language mixing is common in bilingual children’s learning environments. Here, we investigated effects of language mixing on children’s learning of new words. During the learning phase, children correctly identified novel targets when hearing both single-language and mixed-language sentences. However, at test, French–English bilinguals did not successfully recognize the word encountered in mixed-language sentences. This research suggests that language mixing may sometimes hinder children’s encoding of novel words that occur downstream, but leaves open several possible underlying mechanisms." - ncbi.nlm.nih.gov

The ability to speak and understand two languages is known as bilingualism. People may learn bilingualism through education,  at a young age, and learning in a number of places. While multilingualism is the ability to speak more than two languages. Example of bilingualism:

1. Someone who speaks both English and French fluently.

2. Learning Italian in school while already speaking German at home.

Examples of multilingualism

1. Cristiano Ronaldo speaks English, Portuguese,

Spanish and Italian

2. An international diplomat good in Russian, French, and Arabic.

Bilingualism, the ability to speak two languages fluently, has many advantages: a bilingual person can often understand contexts and meaning between two very different cultures, and this knowledge helps them effectively communicate across those cultures. However, does possessing the ability to understand two cultures and transfer meaning from one language to another provide you with all you need to become a professional translator? To answer this question, one must consider the underlying skills that translators hone throughout their careers.
Translation Techniques
Proficient translation is supported by a complex set of skills and advanced abilities that go beyond comprehending texts in the source and target languages. Translators need to make informed decisions on which terms to use, for instance, since communication is comprised of words and phrases which only make sense when assembled coherently and logically, with certain contexts considered when transferring missives into the target language. Translators are responsible for recognising the linguistic discrepancies between two languages to decide which words to omit and which to add, to ensure the delivery of meaning intended in the source text. One example of such a case is translating figures of speech: a proficient translator knows that literal translation would be counterproductive. Rather, they would try to find a suitable equivalent to the meaning rather than simple word-by-word translation.
Research Skills and Translation
To become knowledgeable enough to effectively translate any text, understanding of specific terminology and of the context around the text's subject matter is essential. Many professional translators study the work of previous translations in the field, and they often supplement their knowledge with research materials to help them better understand the focus topic. Extensive reading and advanced research skills will help a translator to check facts and demonstrate knowledge to support their writing. Translators are skilled writers, who can manage texts competently and present a reader-friendly product. In other words, knowledge of at least two language's linguistic structures, rules, semantics, and pragmatics allow them to produce coherent and cogent pieces of writing.

The assumption, therefore, that any bilingual speaker can be a translation writer is a fallacy. Knowledge of languages does not equate to the professional skills in a translator's arsenal. A translator's role is multifaceted, and requires writing skills, linguistic abilities, intuitive knowledge, and research skills.

If you aren't actively listening to your co-workers and/or boss it can cause conflicts and misunderstandings. If you are constantly thinking about your own response so that you can state what you wish over listening to your colleague\s\boss then they may think that you are not engaged in the conversation and makes them not feel heard. During conversations listen to the other person before making up your own response to be more active in conversation which will create a better bond as the other person feels heard and respected.

We have learned that one positive action we can apply from this topic is that we can be more self-aware whether we are listening to the other person or just zoning out. By being aware of ourselves it is a great way to be more engaged on conversation and can help us make better choices when actively listening.
