DOI: Enhancement and Facilitation of Translation and Communication with Multilingual Refugees
Murtadha Hamza Jasim Al-Rifaie , IraqAbstract
Multilingualism refers to the ability of an individual or a community to speak or use multiple languages. It can be characterized by the ability to understand, read, write, and communicate in more than one language. A multilingual person does not necessarily mean someone who speaks more than one language perfectly.
