I. Read the text and choose the correct variant: “MOTHER TONGUE”
First language, also known as mother tongue, is generally the language a person learns first. However, one can have two
or more native languages thus being a native bilingual or indeed multilingual. The order in which these languages are
learned is not necessarily the order of proficiency. Incomplete first language skills often make learning other languages
difficult. Often a child learns the basics of his or her first language or languages from his or her family. The term mother
tongue, however, should not be interpreted to mean that it is the language of one's mother. For instance, in some paternal
societies, the wife moves in with the husband and thus may have a different first language or dialect than the local
language of the husband. Yet their children usually only speak their local language.
