The worst part of speaking two languages is moment when I realised my kids are more fluent in English than my native language... Parenting lecture fail of enormous proportion... it takes only one word which my kids don't understand on my native language and brain fart on my part not remembering...
Yes you can... you will need PID and SSR...
