Welcome to Passerelle, a podcast designed to spark the curiosity of French learners.

Hi, I’m Emilie, and this week, as usual, I’d like to take a few minutes of your time to ponder a question together.
, .
In each episode, I try to bring you different topics to explore.
.
My goal is simply to share with you some food for thought and encourage you to ask yourself questions in French.

Today, let's talk about multilingualism.
, , .
"Plurilingualism" basically means being able to speak multiple languages.

Thanks to this ability, being able to understand several languages, our lives expand and our minds are enriched.

Being multilingual is also something that is highly valued socially.

Are you for or against everyone speaking the same language? Inspired by this idea, this week's question is:
, est-ce , .
Being multilingual: what are the benefits? First, let's look at the origins of multilingualism.
mille-neuf-cent-cinquante-trois .
This concept began to be studied in 1953.
, , .
Next, let's explore the potential consequences of speaking multiple languages on our brains.
, .
And finally, we have a unique relationship with each language.
.
We'll see how it changes depending on the situation and how people are communicating.
