How Bilingual People Use Spanish

We are doing a study to learn how different Spanish speakers-people who grew up speaking Spanish at home and people who learned it later-use Spanish in different situations. We want to understand how they choose between different ways of saying things, like which verb form or sentence sounds best to them. This will help us learn more about how bilingual people think about grammar and how their experiences with both Spanish and English may affect the way they use language. We are not testing anyone or grading them; we're just interested in the choices they make and how they think about them. By learning more about this, we hope to improve how Spanish is taught and supported in schools and communities.
