Every language we speak is another personality. Speaking another language leads us to see the world in a different way, to adapt the way we behave around other people. It opens up a new dimension of experience to us that our native language cannot quite capture. Or at least, so we are led to believe. Reflecting on anecdotes from the experience of his first year living in bilingual Barcelona, in this talk Alex Rawlings will ponder whether or not speaking another language really does change our personality or our identity. He will conclude with some thoughts on how language learners can successfully tread the line between, say, “Speaking Spanish in English”, “Speaking English in Spanish”, or perhaps something in between.
