Annotation
Personal narratives of adult multilingualism/multiculturalism reveal contradictory feelings towards multilinguality, according to education and school system, and in particular the possibility of sharing multiple identifications with peers in an environment that has stimulated students' multilinguality awareness so that the issue is not perceived as a personal or communal menace.
