Sixty-seven percent of blog readers who took part in PRSUN's snap poll consider both English and Spanish as their main languages. They reported that they are fully bilingual (reading, writing and speaking English and Spanish).
Meanwhile, 33 percent said their primary language is English. Nobody chose Spanish as the primary language.
The question readers were asked was: What is your primary language?
This is an unscientific poll, but it gives a glimpse of our readership.
Interesting though not surprising.
