The gift of multilingualism (article in Among Worlds)

When Marilyn Gardner asked me to write an article for the September 2019 issue of Among Worlds, Communication: our languages and lexicons I couldn’t resist writing about the gift of multilingualism.

I am very honored to see my article published in this magazine dedicated to so many important topics for internationals!

– Thank you, Marilyn 😉
