Teachers often don’t get the credit they deserve and of course they don’t get paid enough. The fact that 17% of all teachers have a second job says it all. Teaching definitely isn’t a profession for the faint of heart as it requires patience and a lot of it. This infographic highlights some interesting numbers related to teaching. For example, the average annual salary of a teacher is $53,910 which to be honest is on a lower end for all the crap they have to go through.

While English being as comprehensive and vast as we know it to be, there are words from other foreign languages which can’t directly be replaced or translated into English. Here’s a list 10 fascinating words that cannot be (and believe us, people have tried!) directly translated into English.

Each of these words is unique in its own language and the fact that it’s so, makes it incredibly fascinating; given how very delicate and fragile each and every language is to the culture it pertains to!

Science fiction has given us a load of awesome robots: Optimus Prime, R2D2, the Terminator. Unfortunately, all of these are – for now, at least – fictional.
