My early childhood was like that of any other child except for one slightly different thing; I could speak fluently in two different languages already at the age of three. I was taught Polish by my mother, and learned Finnish from my father just like any youngster would learn his/her native language. I started attending an English-speaking preschool called "Honey Monsters" at the age of six and there I learned how to communicate in the most influential European language. All the other things in my childhood were totally normal, not counting the fact that I could speak fluently in three languages before even starting first grade.
