Did this talk on bilingualism spark your curiosity?

- The books published by CALEC in 15 languages www.tbr-books.org

Thanks for this deep dive into this fascinating topic! I was wondering whether you can say something about sign language. Can we consider bilingual a person who knows a spoken and a sign language?

It is a pleasure for me to share you my experience as a scholar in an Eastern European country - Romania. I began my school experience at the age of 6. Already in the 4th grade, so at 10 we began studying English, one year later German and in high school Italian. And this vision was already part of what was then a communist country... 

I would like to underline that thanks to this knowledge I am what I am today and the company I run is able to develop sustainable partnerships and projects focusing on the EU priorities
