That's still one of the questions that comes up most often in our outreach: "Is it normal that my kid (or myself) does this?"

What might seem like such a dark topic and challenging meeting (and it is at times) has also become a space of such optimism for me - seeing how there is so much knowledge (intellectually and emotionally), I do have hope...

On the way and in the midst of the third workshop on language and trauma ...what an optimistic place and what a treat to hear people use four+ languages of communication quasi-simultaneously in different pairings 😍

Als ich das erste Mal 9-to-5 gehört habe, erschien mir das wie ein extrem anstrengendes Leben... ertappe mich dabei, dass mir diese Arbeitszeiten grad sehr erholsam vorkämen... #mittwochmorgen am #endedervorlesungsfreienzeit

An idea worth sharing to help the international community understand processes occurring in the United States. Every bookstore at international airports with flights to the U.S. should have a selection like this one.

@pernihansen.bsky.social any idea?

* Paper hunt* At the last ISB conference, someone (I can't remember who!) mentioned a study on the fact that L2 speakers might use scales differently than L1 speakers (similarly to the idea that cultural background affects the use of extremes in scales).Who can help me find this paper?

Danke für die tolle Grafik @katjaberlin.bsky.social
