Jay Walker legt uit waarom twee miljard mensen over de wereld Engels proberen te leren. Hij toont foto's en laat horen hoe Chinese studenten Engels oefenen; met duizenden tegelijk schreeuwen ze "de  alternatieve wereldtaal" wat ons de rillingen over de rug doet lopen.

Jay Walker over de obsessie van de wereld met Engels.

Across continents, two billion people are now working to master English, driven by the promise of new opportunities. In China, students spend years preparing for exams where English makes up a quarter of their score, sometimes shouting their goals in unison.

As English joins math and music as a universal language, it becomes a source of hope for a more connected future.
