A Crosslinguistic Study Among Different Types of Bilinguals

Learning is connecting something old with something new. Something old refers to the knowledge we already possess and something new represents the information we are exposed to for the first time. When we are exposed to a new language, we automatically learn it from the point of view of the language(s) we already know. In this study, we explore the different ways background languages influence the acquisition of a new language.
