Researcher Ellen Bialystok says bilingual minds are "in constant conflict", with the brain always having to make a choice about which language to use. This can actually be a really healthy form of mental exercise. As we need to rest after physical exercise, though, our brains deserve a bit of a rest sometimes too. So when I forget words in both languages, I imagine my brain lying on a desert island somewhere refusing to work. 😂

Studies have shown that bilinguals have trouble with word finding. When a bilingual gets into an accident, sometimes medical professionals (speech pathologists) that are not aware of this normal condition, incorrectly diagnose them with aphasia caused by a neurological condition.
