What better way of celebrating International Mother Language Day than working on editing this absolute beauty? Original stories from #Taiwanese and #Gaelic, each story published in four languages: Taiwanese, Gaelic, Mandarin and English. It's now available on pre-order, and is due out in June.

Today is International Mother Language Day (#IMLD) — a worldwide annual observance held on February 21 to promote awareness of linguistic and cultural diversity and to encourage #multilingualism.

I grew up in a monolingual #Spanish-speaking household but was exposed to #English and the #Galician variety of #Portuguese at an early age. Upon moving to Barcelona as a teenager, I adopted #Catalan.

The fact that I majored in #Translation may not come as a surprise.

How many languages do you speak?

Heute ist Internationaler Tag der Muttersprache.
Ich habe die Schüler:innen meiner Klasse gefragt, wie „Ich spreche [Name der Sprache] . Und du?“ in ihren weiteren Muttersprachen heißt. So sieht das dann aus.
