An enjoyable read!' Elizabeth Lanza, Professor/ Director Center for Multilingualism in Society across the Lifespan (MultiLing), Department of Linguistics and Scandinavian Studies, University of Oslo 'An insightful and comprehensive guide to all aspects of the experience of knowing and using more than one language. Grosjean combines his formidable expert knowledge with his first-hand experience into a book that is both informative and entertaining.' Monika S. Schmid, Professor of Linguistics, University of Essex 'This book is an extremely digestible resource for the layperson or student first engaging with the topic of bilingualism and for the scholar or professor who seeks a review of the material for research or teaching purposes. It will make a superlative bank of supplementary readings for graduate classes that is sure to stimulate discussion and reflection on the part of students.' Alicia Pousada, retired professor, University of Puerto Rico, Rio Piedras 'Written in a clear and engaging style, and yet sharing important research information, Grosjean here answers our many questions as we live and raise families bilingually. By centering life as a bilingual, Grosjean dispels many anxieties produced by monolingual framings, normalizing processes of growing up, living, learning, loving, thinking and ageing bilingually.' Ofelia Garcia, The Graduate Center, City University of New York Author InformationA bilingual himself, François Grosjean is a world-renowned expert on the topic. He started his academic career at the University of Paris 8 and then taught and completed research in psycholinguistics at Northeastern University in Boston.
