TED Beirut: Don't kill your language


More and more, English is a global language; speaking it is perceived as a sign of being modern. But -- what do we lose when we leave behind our mother tongues? Suzanne Talhouk makes an impassioned case to love your own language, and to cherish what it can express that no other language can. In Arabic with subtitles. (Filmed at TEDxBeirut.) 
Suzanne Talhouk is an advocate for the Arabic language as a tool of power, pride and unity.
