A compelling argument about the importance of using more than one language in todays world In a world that has English as its global language and rapidly advancing translation technology, its easy to assume that the need to use more than one language will diminishbut Marek Kohn argues that plural language use is more important than ever.

He explores how people acquire languages; how they lose them; how they can regain them; how different languages may affect peoples perceptions, their senses of self, and their relationships with each other; and how to resolve the fundamental contradiction of languages, that they exist as much to prevent communication as to make it happen.
