Language learning goes far beyond a simple means of communication as it plays an important role not only in acquiring new knowledge but shaping one’s own personal and professional identity and building lifelong relationships. Panelists are invited to share a milestone moment or experience on how their additional language enriched their personal and/or professional life, and how maintaining their language skills shapes their view of the world.
