At my house, you spoke six languages fluently or you didn’t speak at all. When I was eight and accidentally used a French word when I was supposed to be speaking Spanish, my mom slapped me across the face so hard I fell off my chair. You see, neither of my parents spoke anything except English. But they were both completely obsessed with this idea that multilingual people were superior and that they’d ruined their own lives by only knowing one language.
