Dear Santa,

My name is Giulia. I am 24 years old. I think I haven’t been too naughty this year.

For Christmas, I would like all people - not just linguists! - to stop believing the following five myths about language learning. I’m sure you agree they can be very harmful.

Thank you, Santa.

Love,

Giulia
