The only barrier to learning a language is memory. — The process of language learning is the process of forming memories. Nothing more, nothing less. If you understand that, and you understand how memories are formed, then you can make progress in a way youve never dreamed possible before. Gabriel Wyner is an author, opera singer and polyglot based in Chicago. After reaching fluency in German in 14 weeks with the help of the immersive Middlebury Language Schools, he fell in love with the process of language learning, going on to spend two months in intensive Italian courses in Perugia, Italy. Searching for ways to bring the immersion experience into the home, he began to develop a system that rapidly builds fluency in short, daily sessions. In 2010, his efforts paid off. He learned French to fluency in 5 months, and then Russian in 10 months.
Born in Los Angeles, he graduated summa cum laude in 2007 from the University of Southern California with dual degrees in Mechanical Engineering and Vocal Arts Performance, and was awarded the Renaissance Scholar’s prize for excellence in unrelated disciplines. He then moved to Vienna to pursue triple Master’s degrees at the Konservatorium Wien in Opera, Lieder and Voice, and graduated with honors in 2011.
Currently learning Japanese, hes learned Hungarian and Spanish over the last few years. His book on language learning – Fluent Forever: How to learn any language fast and never forget it – was published on August 5, 2014 (Harmony/Random House). His most recent project has been the development of a new language learning tool, which became the most successful Kickstarter for an app in history in September of 2017.

Когда вы в последний раз обращали внимание на свои сны?
Задумывались ли вы, почему увидев плохой сон, мы целый день пребываем в подавленном настроении, с трудом избавляемся от неприятных ощущений. А порой, находясь под впечатлением от увиденного, даже совершаем импульсивные действия.
Маргарита Ли – практикующий психолог, исследователь сновидений рассказывает о том, что сон – это не просто «продукт» дневных впечатлений. Он содержит ценное послание для каждого из нас.
И в наших силах научиться расшифровывать эти послания и применять их с пользой для своей жизни. 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

Tom Thum: Armed with just a microphone, Thum pushes the limits of the human voice to create incredible soundtracks of impossible beats and phenomenal sounds, with scratched vinyl, the Michael Jackson back-catalogue, the didgeridoo and an entire fifties jazz band amongst his vocal repertoire.
You can follow Tom on FaceBook (TomThummer) and Twitter (@tomthummer)
Quoting from ABCs Triple J Unearthed website:
«TOM THUM, THE VERSATILE VOICEBOX Tom Thum appears to have swallowed an entire orchestra and several backing singers The Guardian (UK)
There are not enough superlatives to describe the wonder of this beatboxing virtuoso — I am still trying to figure out how he got those sounds out of his mouth The Daily Telegraph (UK)
The mic master seems to have an orchestra living in his throat: trumpet blasts, guitar strums and samples from classic songs including Michael Jacksons „Billie Jean“ effortlessly spout from his mouth Time Out, NY
These are apt quotes to describe the performance of one of Australias most prominent and respected beatboxers and serial pests. Only in his mid-twenties Tom Thum has achieved and experienced more than most artists could hope to achieve in a lifetime. From winning the team battles (alongside Joel Turner) in the World Beatbox Championships in 2005, to fulfilling every artists dream and performing on Broadway in New York with the Tom Tom Crew, Tom has seen his fair share of accolades and well and truly paid his dues. Raised by the small but accommodating Brisbane hip hop scene, Tom started out as a graffiti writer and a Bboy but slowly rose to recognition through his ability to produce unhuman sounds and his natural knack for performing and weaselling his way on stage…
Although the stage seems the ideal habitat for Tom he is also no stranger to community and has been helping the scene improve through conducting a plethora of workshops in many places that usually wouldnt have access to such knowledge and skill. Tom has travelled from the very top of Australia teaching in the Indigenous communities of Mornington and Thursday Islands all the way to the very bottom with a series of workshops in Tasmania and Adelaide.
He has also spent considerable time teaching on Palm Island and in Charleville and many other places that would otherwise be Starved for education about proper hip hop and the positive message that music preaches.
As Toms experience within the music industry expands, he plans to push the limits of the human voice as far as inhumanly possible. Enrolling the help of numerous loop stations, Tom has been conducting DJ sets using only his voice and nothing else, propelling crowds across the country into a frenzy of jaw-dropping disbelief, as he re-creates and remixes classic joints and jams from all eras and genres. At present Tom is working on an album ranging across many different generes and features and hopes to have it finished by early 2012. You might see him on a stage at a festival looping up a storm or supporting anyone from the Hilltop Hoods to Blue King Brown, or you might catch him annoying the hell out of commuters on public transport. Either way, you will notice him soon enough. Keep an ear out for Tom Thum.»

Simple, profound truths are the realm of this Buddhist nun. Her message? The gift of happiness truly lies within our own hearts and minds. Gen Kelsang Nyema, exuding a peacefulness that immediately connects with the audience, starts by asking three questions: Are you having a good day? Why? Tomorrow, would you rather have a good day or a bad day? She teaches that we cannot put our happiness at the whim of other people and of circumstances. If we want to be happy, we have to «stop outsourcing our happiness to other people» and cultivate a source of inner peace. What happens next is quite astounding. The whole crowd of 350 people proceeds to meditate with Nyema. Theres a little squirming at first, but as she leads the audience through a calm citation of how to rest the mind, audience members feel a collective relaxation flow into the room and through the people. Fascinating! Refreshing.
This talk was part of TEDxGreenville UNZIPPED, held April 11, 2014, at the Kroc Center in Greenville, South Carolina. For more information about Gen Nyema and her co-presenters, please visit tedxgreenville.com/2014presenters

Отправляйтесь на Карибское море вместе с нами – смотрите полный выпуск программы «Неизведанные острова: Карибы»!
Карибское море обладает богатой историей! В 1492 году первая экспедиция Христофора Колумба высадилась на Багамах. Испанские колонизаторы были абсолютно уверены, что открыли новый путь в Азию, и назвали регион Вест-Индия.
Тысячи людей ежегодно отправляются на песчаные острова в поисках рая. Островная жизнь поражает туристов, мореплавателей и изгоев. Созданные вулканами и закаленные ураганами — это неизведанный уголок рая.
«И разверзлись все источники великой бездны, и лился на землю дождь сорок дней и сорок ночей. И стала убывать вода по окончании ста пятидесяти дней. И остановился ковчег в седьмом месяце, в семнадцатый день месяца, на горах Араратских»…
Много тысяч лет назад наступил момент, когда все люди должны были погибнуть. И нашелся только один, кто сумел спастись сам и спасти будущее человечество. Одни верят в то, что эта история случилась на самом деле. Другие сомневаются в каждом ее слове. Легенда о Ковчеге, который построил библейский праведник. Предание, полное тайн и загадок. Попытки найти ответы рождают все новые вопросы.

Влог о Японии — Все что вы хотели знать о жизни в Японии
По произведениям Ю.Перова «Камни» и «Ревизия». Сердобольная продавщица Паша Никитина по сложившимся уже негласным традициям иногда выдает продукты односельчанам в долг, под запись — потому что колхоз задерживает зарплату. И вроде бы ничего в этом нет противозаконного, и даже проверяющий в курсе дела и относится с пониманием, но однажды ситуация меняется — появляется новый ревизор. Он, обнаружив недостачу, решает вопрос по-другому: отстраняет Пашу от магазина и переводит в пекари. Но, как говорится, не на ту напали…
