Dude, that has nothing to do with genetics. If you interact in that particular language before a certain age, you will learn it no matter what happens. I'm bilingual myself.

I have a friend though, who lived in Israel until he was 7 and that was his first language. Today, he can't speak a word nor can he understand it.
