I'm preparing for a tomorrow lesson, and have just noticed...
Spoiler:
In the textbook I use with adult beginners there's a text about Tesla (well, it's all about irregular verbs really, but that doesn't matter any more ) It goes like this:
Everyone knows that the Italian Marconi invented the radio, right? Wrong! Actually, Guglielmo Marconi stole his great idea from Nikola Tesla, a Croatian scientist. Tesla wrote an article in 1893 and in it he described his important new invention - the radio.
But just two years later, Marconi took the idea to the US Patent Office and soon began to sell it. In 1909 he even won a Nobel Prize for his invention.
In 1943 Nikola Tesla died in New York, a poor man. That year, the US Congress decided that Nikola Tesla was 'the true father of the radio'.
Didn't mention it last year
