Nowadays, any child knows at least a few words in a foreign language – and this is often enough. Moreover, it is definitely enough to join us at the European Researchers' Night 2017 and play the multilinual dominoes game, the multilinugal memory game, and create a mini multilingual dictionary. How many different languags exist? How do people understand each other if they do not speak the same language? Why are certain words so similar in different languages? How do we acquire a language and how do children acquire two languages simultaneously? Come to our workshop to learn the answer and realise that multilingualism matters.
