| Feb 5, 2017 at 21:05 | comment | added | xji | We were using this book for our course currently and it doesn't seem to me that it puts so much importance on L1 actually. There is a chapter on L1 influence but the opinions on this subject from different researchers certainly vary quite a lot. Overall I don't think you should be too worried about L1 influence and maybe should just focus on the more concrete aspects of learning the language. Our lecturer was generally extra wary on this subject and warned of way too simplistic view on L1 influence. | |

If there just happen to be several langauges you acquired in during childhood (presuming the definition "L1 = the languages acquired before acquisition of the first language was complete"), then there is no reason why one of them would not count as an L1 just because there were other languages too. | |

| Jan 21, 2017 at 21:53 | comment | added | sergiol | If you read NUMBERS in the middle of a foreign language text, how do you say them? I tend to read them in my first language instead of the text's language! | |
| Jan 21, 2017 at 20:27 | comment | added | Mitch | The question here seems to be more about the effects of L1 or L2 learning on cognition which I would expect would have more relevant answers here. But if there are nuances not answered here by that, then I do recommend trying out at Language Learners for more about the nuances of those defintions (like is it possible to have more than one L1, what are the issues for LL when 'relearning' a 'lost' childhood language, etc). | |

| Jan 21, 2017 at 14:07 | comment | added | Alenanno | @curiousdannii Sure they can, but my point was that if it's ok here, why migrate it? The OP can ask another question on the other site, making sure it fits their guidelines, about the same topic. | |
| Jan 21, 2017 at 13:26 | comment | added | curiousdannii♦ | @Alenanno They can be migrated, and informing the OP of the other site was the main purpose of my comment. | |
| Jan 21, 2017 at 10:39 | comment | added | Alenanno | Just a note: If a question is on topic here, then it doesn't matter whether it's on topic on other sites as well. Questions must be closed on this site only when the don't belong here, not when they might better belong elsewhere. | |
| Jan 21, 2017 at 1:56 | comment | added | curiousdannii♦ | While on-topic both here and at Language Learning, I think you're more likely to get more helpful answers at the other site, as this is very much a question of applying language theory. | |
| Jan 21, 2017 at 0:02 | comment | added | Greg Lee | I vote for your #2 (as a non-expert), since I think of L1 as meaning native language, and English seems now to be your native language. | |

| Jan 20, 2017 at 22:06 | comment | added | Yon Kornilov | I understand where you're coming from as this has to do a lot with language Learning. But I doubt Language Learning SE will understand SLA theory or how to form an experiment relating to my situation. | |
| Jan 20, 2017 at 22:01 | comment | added | Be Brave Be Like Ukraine | I'm voting to close this question as off-topic because it is not about Linguistics. | |
| Jan 20, 2017 at 22:00 | comment | added | Be Brave Be Like Ukraine | This does not seem to be a question about Linguistics (the natural properties of languages). You may try asking it at Language Learning.SE. | |
