      What's the first philosophical question you can remember thinking? Mine: Why am I not someone else? What makes me *me*?

      How do my friends know I exist when they’re not with me? is the first thing I remember thinking that would be addressed in a philosophy class. But when I was much younger I recall wondering what made some numbers big numbers and I think that was the germ of a philosophical worry.

      I also remember, when I was ~7, wondering if the way English sounded to me was the way French sounded to native French speakers etc - i.e. if there's a phenomenology of "comprehensible language" and everyone is having that experience even while they can't understand each other.

      Slightly related, but I'm bilingual and grew up in a bilingual household. There were times before caller ID I'd pick up the landline and it'd be gibberish until I realised they were speaking the other language, not the one I'd been expecting to hear.

      Happened to me all the time growing up trilingually. In young age people considered me slow cause I was juggling many languages at once.

      I think we are slower actually. The data seems to show at catch up though.

      Obviously though, you/we are "slower" than monolinguals though. You're/we're learning something much harder.

          As far as I know - but there are real bilingualism experts out there, of course, I study monolinguals because that's complicated enough - it really depends on what we're looking at, language is so complex. If we just count words, yes, in one language it looks slow

          But: if you count the words learned in all languages, bilinguals are completely on par with monolinguals. And that's not even touching on the ability to separate languages, which your anecdotes imo show.
