Multilingual countries
Posted by Christopher Wink on Nov 18, 2008 in Education

I was very caught up in the idea of a single language for a single nation, at least in the developed world.
English. Spanish. German. French. Japanese. Chinese.
A monolithic people speaking a single language in a single place. Of course it gets more complicated, but I didn’t think I would come across those complexities in Western Europe - the mother of much of mainstream American culture.
These damn multilanguage countries confused me.
