If someone has a non-English first language, wouldn’t that make English his/her second language?

Of course, some people grow up in truly bilingual or multilingual homes, learning more than one language from infancy. Supposedly, this tunes their brains to learn languages much more easily, an lifelong advantage that goes far beyond an SAT subject test.
