Are you ready to embark on an exciting journey of languages through continents, countries and cultures?
Where did the word "banana" originate? What is the world's most secret language? Which word is universally understood? Find out answers to all these questions and more as you travel across the globe to explore the complexity, beauty and variety of languages.
