Bilingualism and the Brain with   Dr. Arturo Hernández (University of Houston, USA)

I had the incredible opportunity to interview Dr. Arturo Hernández while we both attended the 1st HabilNet Symposium in La Hulpe (Belgium) in May 2018 to learn more about bilingualism and the brain. From there a fascinating conversation develops, covering language conflict, language discrimination, and how studying the bilingual brain teaches us about our humanity.
