Multilingualism is often misunderstood, and often correlated with either over-ability or disability. Myths and misconceptions about multilingualism have consequences at home, in school and in clinic. In addition, the languages used by multilinguals are the usual focus of attention. My focus is the people: multilingualism is not about what several languages can do to people, it is about what people can do with several languages. If you ever wondered about multilingualism, whether you are monolingual or multilingual, welcome to my blog.
