Reviews
"Why Study Languages? is as rich in information as it is in experience. It will answer your questions about the nature of languages and communication, dispel many negative myths about language learning, and provide evidence that studying languages is not only useful but also rewarding, exhilarating and, often, life-changing"; Loredana Polezzi, Alfonse M. D'Amato Chair in Italian American and Italian Studies, Stony Brook University. "A valuable insight into the myriad of ways in which the study of languages can enrich our experience of the world, be that personal or professional"; Catriona Kyle, Assistant Headteacher, Channing School, London
