<![CDATA[Emotions in the context of bilingualism present a complex and dynamic field of study (Dewaele, 2014). The current research examines the emotional experiences of ten Jordanian international Ph.D. students in Hungary, who are proficient in English as their second language (L2). Participants, contacted through social media, represent a diverse group of both genders, aged between 25 and 28. The study follows a qualitative research design. Semi-structured interviews were conducted to delve into the participants' emotional perceptions and expressions.

The findings contribute to the broader exploration of the emotional dynamics experienced by bilingual individuals, highlighting the significance of personal and cultural factors in shaping emotional experiences.
