I moved to US from Japan when I was 13 years old. One thing I have benefited for sure is the sheer amount of information I have access to. While there are a lot of overlaps as translated versions of the work is often available between Japanese and English pair, it is certainly easier for me; actually, this makes searching for information relatively easier. I have an option to take a jump in a language in order to narrow down the information I'm looking for. The only thing I can think that I missed is some of the social implications (or cues, if you will) in each language. (Maybe drastically more so in English, as I haven't had chance to infuse them.) Not that I have much of problems speaking to other people, and reading documents in either language, it's just when there are hidden implications within.
