What is it about?
The aim of this study was to examine acoustic characteristics of Korean–English (KE) bilingual children’s productions of Korean and English /l/ sounds. Individual variability in KE bilingual children’s productions of Korean and English /l/ was examined in relation to each child’s initial age and duration of exposure to their first and second languages.

This paper provides further insights for speech language pathologists when working with bilingual populations.
Perspectives
While this paper focuses on Korean-English bilingual children, the initial age of exposure and duration to a child's first and second languages are important considerations when working with any bilingual child. This article also shines light on the need for further research on less prevalent bilingual populations in the United States.
