Being a Second Language Learner | Seongyeon (Yeonie) Heo (Yeonie) Heo | TEDxYouth@ISBangkok

In this global world, it is easy to meet multilingual speakers. Multilingual speakers are not people who are absolutely fluent or almost like a native in multiple-languages but they are learners of other languages. This talk explores how second language learners truly feel and think when finding limitations in their second (or other) languages. It further emphasizes the importance of having the courage to make mistakes and learn and improve based on their own experiences. It also asks native speakers to understand the experience of language learners. Yeonie Heo is a 16 year old junior at International School Bangkok. It has been 3 years now since she moved to Thailand from Korea. The past years were sometimes tough and challenging for her. There were several up and downs getting used to the culture and studies here in an international school. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

성연이 대단혀!!! 네이티브 뺨 칠 정도로 유창하네. 물론 연습도 많이 했겠지만 이렇게 유창하게 될 떄까지 마음 고생도 많이 했을 것 같다. 마지막 부분에 울먹이는 모습을 보니까 내가 다 눈물이 나려고 하네.^^ 우리도 빨리 말하고 싶어요. 하지만 모국어로 할 때처럼 그렇게 쉽지 않아요. 머리에 정리해서 말 할 시간을 주세요.ㅜㅜㅜ--- 아빠 친구, 종팔^^
