Multilingualism and Mother Tongues - Joan Lennon

Charlemagne is reported to have said, "To have another language is to possess a second soul."*  I'd like to share Christine De Lucca's video about the place of Shetlandic in her life and writing, as a child and as an adult.



Christine's video is part of the Wikitongues project.  You can find out more about Wikitongues here.

* though of course he wouldn't have said it in English.
