The Multilingual Subject by Claire Kramsch

challenging informative reflective medium-paced

4.5

i have read this book as a part of my thesis investigation and, while i don't usually rate books i read for uni assignments, i feel like this one deserves a high rating. 

as a multilingual person myself, i saw myself mirrored in so many parts of the first half of this book. i actually even teared up at some parts, especially when the author included writings made by other multilingual authors or students. i just felt... so understood. and reading some theory about this whole topic also felt nice.

it is unfortunate that the last two or three chapters didn't catch my attention that much and that there have been many terms i still can't fully understand (hopefully i will once i start writing my thesis). but overall it was a really nice read and yeah i am just so glad this was the first book i read during my investigation process <3
