New Series: I speak English

“I speak English.”  It’s a phrase you wouldn’t expect to hear very much in an Arabic speaking, former French colony like Tunisia.  But speaking English is a growing trend among the young people of Tunisia that is unlikely to go away.  I’d like to invite you on a journey with me as I seek out individuals from the startup, social innovation and artistic communities of Tunisia who are actively engaging in English on a daily basis.  Our quest is simple. We will discover how English has impacted these individuals lives’ and gain their perspective on the influence that English will have on the future of Tunisia.
