In polylingual Transnistrian region bilingual children meet some difficulties in their language assimilation (in this case, we mean Russian and Bulgarian languages). These difficulties are: the effect of Parkansky dialect on Bulgarian literary language; errors in spelling, in pronunciation of certain words and expressions. On the other hand, as the language of communication in family continues to be Bulgarian, Russian language skills are limited to everyday speech.Our goal is to understand the mechanism of childrens bilingualism developing. We would like to find out, what are the ways and the social causes of bilingualism. This research is based on speech records (bilingual children aged from 3 to 10 ages). As a result, we offer exemplary exercises for working with bilingual children. Finally, weve discussed the pros and cons of childrens bilingualism in polylingual Transnistrian society.</p>bilingualismbilingual environment polylingualpolylingual personalitybilingual childrenauditory and visual-perceptual knowledgeбилингвизмбилингвальная средаполиязычныйполилингвальная лич-ностьдети-билингвызрительно-слуховое и чувственное познание[Protasova E.Yu., Homeland N.M.
