BILINGUAL/BINATIONAL

This is for all of us!!! SO TRUE - I wonder if one of us put this together?

You know you are bilingual/binational, when:

- you don't find this word in this language but that one doesn't come in that language
- you juggle with different currencies
- you have the choice of nationalities when you're asked for ID
- when you're tired you use the words of one language but the grammar of the another one, which creates some kind of melting pot which barely anyone with Reason understands
- you don't realise that you're not speaking a pure language, that it always has traces of the other one(s)
- you are bored with people who are monolingual/unicultural
- you've lived in/experienced more than one country
- you're neither this nor that, actually.
- you're still more or less considered as a foreigner in your "home" countries
- not "one of them" but an outsider. -
you're only seen as monolingual/cultural in the target country
- you get fed up of people who ask you in what language you think - I THINK IN BLOODY IDEAS, I DON'T KNOW !
- you can't really understand what it is to be from one country and support it
- you don't necessarily speak the same language to both of your parents
- you say "do you want the full story or the abridged version?" when someone asks you the question "so where are you from?"

-> so what ???
