¿Hablas español? Parlez-vous français? 你会说中文吗？
If you answered, "sí," "oui," or "会" and you're watching this in English,
chances are you belong to the world's bilingual and multilingual majority.
And besides having an easier time traveling
or watching movies without subtitles,
knowing two or more languages means that your brain
may actually look and work differently than those of your monolingual friends.
So what does it really mean to know a language?
Language ability is typically measured in two active parts, speaking and writing,
and two passive parts, listening and reading.
While a balanced bilingual has near equal
abilities across the board in two languages,
most bilinguals around the world know and use their languages
in varying proportions.
And depending on their situation and how they acquired each language,
they can be classified into three general types.

whose family immigrates to the US from Peru when she's two-years old.
