    “Trilingual”

    “What do you call someone who speaks two languages?”

     The author first heard this joke in Africa, where he frequently met people who spoke eight, nine or ten languages. Most of these people would not consider themselves remarkable in any way. Some of them could not even read. But, unwittingly, all of them had stumbled upon The Language Secret. And it is our pleasure to reveal it to you in this book.
