TED Talks. PARTE I
¡Hola amigos! ¿How are you guys doing? With this issue I am accomplishing my article number 50!!!!! I remember when I said to myself: “When I accomplish fifty articles I am gonna write an e-book”. Well, it’s on my list now…
Today, I am gonna share with you some of the links of some of the most inspirational TED Talks I have watched about learning languages.
Some of them have influenced me and/or my methodology of teaching, some of them (quite my favorite ones) have changed my point of view about learning languages and/or why to learn languages. ANY LANGUAGE.
So, today it is not about me, grammar, or Spanish. Today is about languages, that beautiful and complex way to communicate. Cheers to those who are doing great and brave things out there sharing and spreading their ideas and speeches with the world. Cheers to them! J

Very impressive and comic young man. He spends much of his time perfecting his linguistic skills in different neighborhoods around the city, and to date his Youtube channel has received over 3 million hits. In this video he explains some techniques on how to memorize words and speaks a little about how languages normally bring culture attached: YOU CAN TRANSLATE WORDS EASILY BUT YOU CAN’T QUITE TRANSLATE MEANING.
