Speaking 6 languages to tell my story about how I learned Finnish, German, English, Swedish, Japanese & Chinese. I love languages so I wanted to share my thoughts on how to learn languages and become multilingual. Ep 24⬇See more below⬇
Finnish language is my mother tongue. Finnish is so rare that one has to learn foreign languages to survive. 😀 German language is my first foreign language and I am learning German again after a long break, since I currently live in Berlin. Learning English has always been somewhat challenging for me, but after living abroad it has become easier. I have also learned a little Swedish, but the most passionate I am about Japanese language and Chinese language. After learning Japanese I thought it would be fun to learn Chinese as well. Nowadays, I can speak Chinese more fluently than Japanese. Learning Japanese and learning Chinese are quite different from how to learn English, but that’s what makes learning languages fun.
I don’t know if I could call myself a polyglot, but it would be great if one day I could become truly multilingual or a polyglot speaking multiple languages fluently.
I hope this video inspires you to learn languages, since learning languages is so much fun!

Alexa is a children’s book author having written, illustrated, and self-published her first picture book, “Hannah’s Hats”, when she was a Freshman at NYU. In her talk, Alexa explores and shares her passion for multilingualism, it’s benefits, and more.
Alexa Pearce is a Junior from Little Rock, Arkansas. She is an avid Francophile, an expert scone baker, a wannabe runner, and fair-weather football fan. She’s always loved children’s literature; she wrote, illustrated, and self-published her first picture book, Hanna’s Hats, when she was a Freshman at NYU. Inspired by the multilingualism pervasive in the NYU community, Alexa set out to research bilingual children’s literature during her sophomore year, receiving a DURF grant from NYU along the way. Her research led her to develop a new kind of bilingual children’s book utilizing the theory in bilingual pedagogy called “translanguaging,” which gives young students learning multiple languages at once the freedom to experiment with mixing languages, as fluent bilingual speakers often do conversationally.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at http://ted.com/tedx

Over the course of human history, thousands of languages have developed from what was once a much smaller number. How did we end up with so many? And how do we keep track of them all? Alex Gendler explains how linguists group languages into language families, demonstrating how these linguistic trees give us crucial insights into the past.
