Recommendations for a research paper

0 Hi everyone 02br
00I have a research paper to write and have selected my topic: The influence of the mother tongue when learning a foreign language. 02br
00I think a lot of us are living this experience right now by communicating in a foreign language. 02br
00If you have some articles, journals or websites to recommand, I would really appreciate. 02br
00All personal points of views or opinions are more than welcome. Due to the diversity of the members of this forum, the result can only be interesting!! 02br
00Thanks a lot for helping me out!! 02br
00Cheers 02br
