Why We Struggle Learning Languages | Gabriel Wyner | TEDxNewBedford


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.

The Magic of Not Giving a F*** | Sarah Knight | TEDxCoconutGrove


Внимание: нецензурная лексика.

Автор бестселлера Сара Найт в своём юмористическом выступлении «Магия пофигизма» рассказывает о «методе не-сожаления»: как прекратить тратить время на те вещи, которые вы не хотите делать.

После пятнадцати лет работы в лучших книжных издательствах Нью-Йорка Сара Найт начала работать на себя. С тех пор её книга «Сегодня я уволилась (и ты сможешь!)» стала очень популярной, а её книга «Магия пофигизма, меняющая жизнь: как перестать тратить время, которого у вас нет, делая вещи, которые вам не нравятся, с людьми, которые вам неинтересны» стала бестселлером.

После побега из корпоративной культуры её становление как «невольного анти-гуру» продолжилось, когда она с мужем переехала в Лас-Терренас в Доминиканской Республике. В своей новой книге Сара объясняет «как взять себя в руки и перестать волноваться о том, что вам следует сделать, чтобы закончить то, что нужно сделать, и начать наконец делать то, что вам нравится». Сара с отличием закончила Гарвардский университет по специальности английская и американская литература.

How Hope Can Change Your Life | Amy Downs | TEDxOklahomaCity


Can a person overcome the most difficult moments of their life? Amy Downs shows how people can not only survive, but how they can thrive if they have a hopeful mindset. The pathway of hope leads to all people creating a better future. Amy Downs was one of the last survivors to be pulled from the rubble of the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing in which a total of 168 people were killed including 18 of her 33 co-workers. While buried alive and waiting to die, she realized she had never really lived. She began her career as a teller 32 years ago working for Federal Employees Credit Union located in the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building. At the time of the bombing, Downs was a credit card loan officer who flunked out of college and weighed more than 350 pounds. In the coming years, she’d not only lose 200 pounds, but become a triathlete—and even compete in an Ironman Triathlon. She’d not only go back to school, but she’d graduate with a Masters of Business Administration. She’d not only get promoted by Federal Employees Credit Union (who would soon change their name to Allegiance Credit Union) but she eventually became its CEO—an award winning CEO, no less.
