TOP REVIEWS FROM THE BILINGUAL BRAIN
This class covered many different aspects of bilingualism (and multiligualism) and included evidence from research.
This course helped me in understanding various aspects of how brain and mind works and how we can use these knowledge for studying different languages and also when we multitasks
I learned how languages are acquired, lost, and maintained and the myths associated with those topics.
It led me to a whole new world to see bilingualism from different point of view. It explained ideas that I had before scientifically.
