@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.
