Title: Dreaming in Hindi
Description: "In this inspirational memoir, Rich documents her experiences in India ? ranging from the bizarre to the frightening to the unexpectedly exhilarating -- using Hindi as the lens through which she is given a new perspective not only on India, but on the radical way the country and the language itself were changing her. Fascinated by the process, she went on to interview linguistics experts around the world, reporting back from the frontlines of the science wars on what happens in the brain when we learn a new language. Seamlessly combining Rich's courageous (and often hilarious) personal journey with wideranging reporting, Dreaming in Hindi offers an eye-opening account of what learning a new language can teach us about distant worlds and, ultimately, ourselves." -- Publisher description.
