TOP REVIEWS FROM THE BILINGUAL BRAIN
This class covered many different aspects of bilingualism (and multiligualism) and included evidence from research.
Amazing and I have learned a lot. I am a Bilingual myself and it really sheds light on how the brain works in terms of learning and being proficient in two languages or more for others.
Loved it. I hope there will be a follow up. I still have many questions about bilingualism
This course was so interesting that I completed it in a lot less time than I expected. I really want to thank both the Coursera team and the University of Houston.
