For those of you raising or who have raised a bilingual child

What did that look like during early stages of language development? Did they prefer one language over another, mix words and phrases, etc? I'm just curious to hear about your experiences.

I can't answer but the question fascinates me. How the mind works speaking multiple languages. What language do you think in and the instant translation while speaking. To my pea brain it's baffling

@Gibbon it actually baffles my mind as well, because I didn't start learning our language until I was an adult. I've never seen the processing from the beginning stages of language development before.
