• December 2010

Na dogodku TEDx v Dubaju je izkušena profesorica angleščine, Patricia Ryan, zastavila provokativno vprašanje: »Ali osredotočanje sveta na angleščino preprečuje širitev velikih idej v drugih jezikih?« (Kaj če bi Einstein moral opraviti preizkus TOEFL, na primer?) Angleščina je trdna obramba pred prevajanjem in širitvijo idej.
