Kirill SolovievVery interesting and relevant content, although requires a bit of effort to follow from uninitiated people like myself - due to an occasional delve into basic neuroscience. Office hours, where Prof. Hernandez was answering questions from the forums, were a great addition to the course. On the downside, the quizzes were somewhat weak.
Overall - recommended for everyone who is even remotely interested in how several languages work in your brain. -
Prof. Hernandez was a very clear and interesting lecturer and as a bilingual person, it was amazing to get some insight into the neural functioning of how the brain processes language.

This was a great course. Too bad it was removed from Coursera: I wanted to rewatch a couple of videos. I also bought the book.

Daria RudnikExcellent course for those who want's to learn how two languages live in one brain. Good for language teachers and parents of bilingual children. -
