TED-Ed Weekend Student Talks

How can a simple nursery rhyme be so complicated to translate? If your language doesn't include words for numbers, are you still able to count? And why do speakers of a language without words for "left" and "right" always know which way is North? In this thought-provoking talk from TED-Ed Weekend in New York City, Petrina Nomikou discusses research on the relationship between language and thought. About the speaker: Petrina Nomikou was born in Greece and currently attends high school in Argentina. To find out more about TED-Ed Weekend, go here: bit.ly/2mCCQDn.
