Sproglig forsnævring: En tale, som jeg i sin tid holdt på en konference arrangeret af netværket Ja til Sprog i oktober 2012. Den er desværre ikke blevet mindre aktuel med årene. #sprog #globalisering #undervisning #sprogkundskaber #sprogtab lnkd.in/dGSA6SjT

Until the German occupation of his native Denmark in April 1940 #AndersLassen had no interest in the War. Yet over the next five years he became a #SpecialForces legend decorated with the #MilitaryCross three times and a posthumous #VictoriaCross. #MilitaryHistory #WW2
