Abstract or Introduction
One could say that speaking a different language changes ones personality. However, many would also agree that speaking a different language has no affect on ones personality. A considerable amount of literature exists about the topic bilingualism. However so few exist about the idea of bilingualism changing ones personality. Depending on the type of bilingualism, it is considered to be a fact that people change personalities as they switch from one language to another (Collier, 83). There are three types of bilingualism: Simultaneous bilingualism, receptive bilingualism and sequential bilingualism. Simultaneous bilingualism is when as an infant learns two languages at the same time and can speak them both as a mother tongue (Collier, 84)
