My first for @NewsfromScience is about the brains of polyglots- people who can speak five or (many) more languages. Featuring research from the @ev_fedorenko lab. Thank you @saima_mm and everyone else who talked to me about this piece science.org/content/articl…

www.science.org Your native tongue holds a special place in your brain, even if you speak 10 languages Neuroimaging reveals how polyglots’ brains respond to both familiar and unfamiliar languages
