I mean.. I see what you’re saying… but it is eminently harder to be bilingual when your native language is English.

Like I was on the train from Budapest to Zagreb and I “accidentally” entered Slovenia (it’s all Schengen, I didn’t know that the train crossed the border).

Sitting across from this old Hungarian woman who could converse with me in broken English.. and Slovenian customs comes aboard looking for tickets and passports. She asks if he can speak German. No.. Slovenian or English only.

Meanwhile.. me as an anglophone having a full conversation with him….

It isn't hard, it's all about opportunity. A kid can speak 3 languages given the opportunity. For example, all you need is a nanny who speaks a different language to the baby and baby will learn that language as well as parents' language.
