Description
When we speak a foreign language, are we ourselves? How are bilinguals different from dictionaries? Is the motivation to learn a language related to its effectiveness? Why is it so difficult to express feelings in another language? Can a foreign language be learned at any age?
Jagoda Ratajczak's book is an unusual introduction to the world of language learning. With a sense of humor, the author introduces the mechanisms of language learning and dispels many myths about bilingualism. Giving examples from the literature on the subject and from her own experience - a person fascinated by learning foreign languages - she writes about how knowledge of other languages changes our way of thinking, feeling, looking at the world.
