Words are windows into cultures. Feng shui is another great example, there is no English equivalent. In this club, we'll learn 20 words from around the world which are unique to their languages. We'll talk about their meanings, we'll try to understand the culture behind them and we'll attempt to find words in our own languages that can kind of be the same._x000D_
