Description
Bilingual Life and Reality explores the many facets of life with two or more languages. An international authority on bilingualism examines how language influences our daily interactions, from family life to business negotiations. Half the world's population speaks more than one language every day, yet myths persist about bilingualism and its effects. In this lively book, Grosjean sheds light on the complexities of multilingualism, revealing what it means to live with multiple languages. Through engaging storytelling and insightful analysis, Grosjean shows how language shapes our perceptions, relationships, and understanding of ourselves and others.
