Unfortunately! But full literacy in both, even in college
students isn't as obvious in a bi-lingual as one might think.
Indeed, both my girls, whose preferred language is German,
have done better on papers written in English than their
US-raised peers, simply because they pay more attention to
what they are doing.
My brother's sons, whose mother is Japanese, are both very
disappointed with their mother for never having talked to
them in Japanese, but preferring to use her broken English.
Being perfectly bi-lingual in Japansese can get you a far better
paying job than a museum guide. She could have given them both
a golden ticket to eternal job security, and didn't.
