Differences between being bilingual and bicultural.

 

Bilingualism

 Biculturalism

Refers to the ability to use two or more languages in daily life, though not necessarily with equal fluency. It focuses on language proficiency and usage, including how languages are acquired and maintain.

 Involves participating in and adapting to the cultural norms, values, and behaviors of two or more cultures. Biculturals often blend cultural aspects and adapt their behavior depending on the context, which can influence their language use and cognitive processes.

 

It doesn’t care about culture, traditions or manners, necessarily. It just about communication by a second language. You often find bilinguals who are not bicultural and can find bilinguals and biculturals too.

They take part, to varying degrees, in the life of two or more cultures. A bicultural person has to use a second language too.
