Lost in Translation Task
There are many languages all over the world, and often they have words that do not translate to English and we have no words that are even remotely similar. For example, there are over 100 words in the world that mean 'snow'. WHY IS THAT?! Many famous books like The BFG by Roald Dahl as well as Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll feature words that were created by the authors in order to show the flexibility of language and our imaginations.
