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?

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.
