Huge congratulations to Wieteke Windrich, PhD candidate in the School of Modern Languages Literatures and Cultures at Maynooth University and researcher in the ALIS programme, on her brilliant new piece for RTÉ Brainstorm !
Wieteke explores first language loss — the subtle but powerful shifts that can happen in your native language as you become fluent in another.
A compelling read for anyone interested in language, identity, and how the brain adapts to multilingual life
