Myth: Raising children bilingually is a mistake because they will get confused and never become truly proficient in either language

I do not fully agree with this language myth. I do not think that raising children bilingually is a mistake at all. I believe that a child should be taught as many languages as one pleases. I am a product child of being raised bilingually. My first language is English and my second language is Spanish. I have experienced confusion myself when I comes to both languages. There are times that I have forgotten how to say a word in English but I know the Spanish translation, and vice versa. Also, anytime I pray, I automatically start praying in Spanish. I think that it would be harder for someone to become proficient in multiple languages than just one, but it is not impossible. I believe the more languages you know, the better.
