Learning a Second Language | Shinyoung Grace Kim | TEDxYouth@AISR

[@aadyaaggarwal5312]

This is really great! Thanks a lot, Grace. I am trying to learn Korean because I am becoming more and more fascinated by the culture. I hope I can learn fast even if it means I have to fail a lot haha

[@Aditya-te7oo]

Aadya Aggarwal Are you still learning Korean ? If yes, then I've just one thing to say and that is - don't give up. If you're really really really want to learn this language just say to yourself - "I won't give up." Learning a language is never useless even if you know 100 words in that language. 😃😉😊

[@wumiwumi72]

How is your learning going? 😊

[@josuekabue4828]

Great talk. I'm so glad to listen to TED talks in my second language( English). My first language is French.

I just loved her tips, so usefull. She seems a lovely person as well.

[@youtubeaccount57721]

I can’t agree more. Mistakes are good.

[@THELEGEND-so7vs]

Hello Polyglots, has anyone already expanded his vocabulary linguistically about series or generally gained experience with it. I had planned to watch two series in the evening with subtitles from next week on. Mainly for English and French. I'd be happy to hear about your experiences.

[@wumiwumi72]

Also, if you are learning english and french- on lingopie you can watch a french series and have english & french subtitles

[@ronaldonmg]

I'm not sure what you are asking, but many dutch owe a lot of their English vocabulary to watching English-spoken TV-series and movies with good subtitles in Dutch. Series and movies in other languages unfortunately are quite rare on dutch TV nowadays

[@h0nest100]

Oh thanks i will use this for my presentation

Andnausea, merhaba, hello! I am living in a multicultural life. I'm from a Korean family, but I was born in the States and lived there until I was five. Then I moved to Saudi, which was a totally new environment to me. Flowing around these various cultures, I got interested in languages. Currently I'm learning Arabic. it is fascinating, but hard at the same time. Arabic is nothing like the languages I've been speaking with, but I found out that my struggle is not only because of the difference between them; it's also because I want to speak it fluently. In summary, I want to be fantastic though I have no idea of it. So how can you speak a really different language but still be good? Thinking of my own experience, I found three steps, but before I dig into the steps, I want to ask you a question. Learning a foreign language is hard, Right? But why is that? Yes, it could be because of the different sounds, different letters, a different grammar structure, but is that all? In my opinion, the biggest reason is because people are afraid to be wrong, and that is the first step. Not to be afraid of failure. Be wrong, make mistakes, fail. You should not be ashamed of those. This is an important step because by failing, you can make great progress. Don't believe me? Then listen to my story. Once I had to write a word in Arabic, meaning achievement, but I accidentally wrote a word that meant excretion. Eventually I failed writing that word, but you know what? I never forgot those words. It's just stuck in my head, and this is how I realized that learning from failure is much more efficient than just mechanical memorization. Also it's not only me that is saying this. Experts also proved this too. According to Harvard Business Review, managers in the vast majority of enterprises such as financial services, product design, hospitals, and even NASA's Space Shuttle program, genuinely wanted their organizations learn from failure to improve future performance. Never forget that failure is nothing to be ashamed of. You learn from it. The second step is to find a guide. Failure helps you learn, but you do need someone to help you out with your mistakes. My guide is my Arabic teacher. She helps me through my learning process, but of course it is definitely okay if you don't have a language teacher. Look around. People would love to teach you their native language. For example, like me if any of you wants to learn Korean, I would be more than glad to help you. To people, the fact itself that a foreigner is trying to learn their language makes them delighted. So look around and find a guide. Finally, the last step is to be passionate. Passion is powerful. Sometimes you might get down when you find something challenging. For example, I found it really tough to learn the two forms of words in Arabic: feminine and masculine. It was also hard to understand why they divided words into two groups. Why couldn't they just keep the same for everyone like other languages. But as I got to know Arabic better, some part of it just helped me understand. To me, Arabic is like a bridge that connects me with a really different culture. And I guess that is why I'm passionate about it. Just remember when you're full of passion, there is nothing that can stop you from meeting your goal. Learning a language is difficult, but when you're not afraid to fail, find someone to help you out and be passionate, you will be more than ready to learn or speak a foreign language. Shukran, Thank you, Comeonsunita. [Applause]

[@Im-BAD-at-satire]

英語を母語じゃ俺でも第二言語であった日本語になったほど、まだ下手するためが学んでいるこの言語当てほしいに少し習得したできますよ。韓国語が喋ってませんけど There's native Japanese people who've set up learning KZbin channels for whenever you're stuck on certain grammar patterns and suchlike issues, you don't have to get a face to face teacher in this day and age but that's still also a great option.

If you want to learn English , just watch Hollywood movies.

Hello!, I'm a native Spanish speaker, and I'm looking for a native English speaker to speak with frequently, in both languages, via Discord, Skype, or other, to improve our speaking skills. If there is someone interested, we can fix something.

[@utkarsh4028]

I am new to Spanish. Would love to team up

[@meriemidrissi4388]

Thank you for this talk! In my opinion Arabic makes a difference between feminine and masculin out of precision, it's more precise.

[@ronaldonmg]

Is this about grammatical gender or biological sexe?

[@Bdb83]

Not sure what we are suppose to get out of this or what her message is here. What help an I supposed to get out of this video . This TED talk can't just be , "relax and have fun and you'll get it ," para-summerizing . There was no help here. I mean encouragement is great but it's not really a solution and it's something I think we already know. But take a cute girl with a cute mousy little voice and all of you in the comments are like. "I love her voice"...."she's so right".....all stuff that is probably true but not relevant to why you clicked the video or what you were looking to get out of it

[@foreverbored2009]

She talked about three steps to learning a secondhand language and went on to describe how they’ve helped her in life so far. 1.) don’t be afraid to fail 2.) find a guide and 3.) be passionate
