Researchers found that answering moral dilemmas in a second language yields milder judgments, with participants less likely to endorse harsh punishments compared to their native tongue. getnews.me/second-language-use-can-... #secondlanguage #moraljudgment

Your Personality Changes When You Speak Another Language, but That’s Not Always a Bad Thing Languages don’t just allow us to communicate—they also shape our perception of what surrounds us, and ourselves.

finished draft three this morning. It was gruelling work but I've got it down to length, and the writing is much tighter now. I'll use the final week until the deadline to get feedback from colleagues and fine tune.
