For what it's worth, I couldn't find a supporting result after a few quick searches on Google Scholar and regular Google. At most, I found a systematic review article [1] with the conclusion that interpreters for refugees experien

I also don't experience the extra cognitive load of choosing between languages when trying to express ideas, unless I'm trying to learn a new vocabulary word that I'm not familiar with. In specific, I can't relate to the

I checked a couple of bilingual dictionaries, and found your insight interesting that it looks like there is no precise direct translation for "bullying" in French or Spanish, but only multi-word translations like those in the sub

That's interesting because in the 1960 novel To Kill a Mockingbird (widely taught in the US and well-known in other countries), there's a scene where the character Scout is criticized in school by her teacher, when it's disco

This is a great comment. To add on to a point that really aligns with my experiences: > "Review from time to time but don't let a hard first couple chapters prevent you from ever learning the concepts." This is a very good
