Here's a poser for you ... I had a college friend who spoke two languages fluently. Born in Egypt she spoke Arabic and English from babyhood.
Her Amah spoke to her only in Arabic, her parents only in English. So she spoke to each in the appropriate language. No "cross-overs" were allowed.
Now that's amazing! So was that innate or not?
I am befuddled.
