Is possible that someone might not speak a single word of English now, but will one day understand everything in that language. We look at a BBC programme that examines the future of the so called lingua franca of the world. Plus how the periodic table inspired one Business Daily listener. And we pay tribute to a World Service legend, British broadcaster Paddy Feeny, who has died. He entertained millions of listeners for 36 years on programmes including Write On, Saturday Special and Sportsworld.
