Multilingualism (plurilingüismo) refers to the use of two or more languages by individuals or speech communities. Simultaneous multilingualism occurs when, in a family , a parent speaks one language and the other parent speaks another language. Consecutive multilingualism occurs when education plays a major role. Multilingualism has led to heated debates among linguists. Why?

I think that the multilingualism hasn't got any problem
ResponderEliminarIn a family multilingualist the members learn more lenguages and forms to speak. If they understand theirself, it is good. If they don't understand theirself, it is imposible form a family.
Yeahh, multilingualism in a family is a very positive thing. The only problem is when children start to feel more confident in one language than in the other.
ResponderEliminarMoreover, multilingualism is difficult in schools in countries where one language is not spoken by the citizens. That is what happens in Spain with the English language.
Thank you for your comment!!!
I think multilingualism Is very useful because you can go to other countries and talk with the people. I think that it's not dangerous because it helps you to communicate, but it migh be hard to speak in a lot of languages
