 * Bilingualism.....It could save your life.**

1. What exactly is Bilingualism? Are you or anyone in your family bilingual? If so what languages do you or your family speak? ​​Do you think that a person that is bilingual has an advantage over someone that only speaks one language? Why or why not? (Hint- think about the goldfish.)

2. As an ESL high school student, how difficult was it for you to learn to speak English during your academic career? Were there times when you felt like you were sinking? Did learning English come easy to you? What teaching methods worked for you? What teaching methods didn't work for you? Please share your experience as an ESL student. This will help other students as well as teachers understand your successes and your obstacles you encountered in your academic career.
