Since I've done so much research on bilingualism, I thought I'd share a few things that were on my mind. I know I've already said a lot on code-switching, but I really find it interesting when it happens. I can't say how many times per day I'm exposed to it...my roommate himself is Mexican-American, and he talks to someone in his family almost everyday. He'll begin by greeting his family member in Spanish, but within seconds, he'll switch over to English, especially when it comes to words about school, money, or things going on in the apartment. Prior to studying bilingualism more in-depth, I never really paid attention to how frequently it happened.
