Nowadays all the chidren and adults also are bilingual, and in our case most of us trilinguals. Children acquire the fists language at the early stages of they live. Some of them also acquire the second language at the same time of the fists one, while others acquire it when they start school. There are many difference between children that acquire the first and the second language at the same time and with children that acquire it later. When children aquire the second langue some stages take part in it.
There is a good article about the opinion of Tabor and Snow that expain all about the process of the second language acquisition that is very good. If you want to look at it go to this page: http://www.headstartinfo.org/English_lang_learners_tkit/Bilingual.htm
