Reviews

Danuta Gabrys-Barker's edited anthology reinforces Mark Twain's claim that age is an issue of mind over matter. If you don't mind, it doesn't matter. It inspires third age learners to take up the language learning gauntlet and reinforces the notion that one is never too old to learn something new! * Tammy Gregersen, University of Northern Iowa, USA *
