The School Of Life - Untranslatable Words
School of Life – Untranslatable Words
A thoughtful gift for anyone who loves language, philosophy or simply the magic of words. This beautifully designed set of 20 cards from The School of Life explores untranslatable words from around the world — words that capture feelings we all know, but can’t quite express in English.
From Saudade (Portuguese), a bittersweet longing for something beautiful that’s passed, to Torschlusspanik (German), the anxious sense that time is slipping away, each card celebrates the poetry of human emotion. Paired with evocative imagery, they invite quiet reflection, conversation and connection.
Perfect for journaling, letter writing or thoughtful gifting, this set is a gentle reminder of how language connects us — even when words fall short.
