TED English is online dialogues around TED talks! Each 45-minute session will feature a cool and informative TED Talk, coupled with Q & A and discussion about the meaning and language used in the talk. By joining this program you’ll get the opportunity to talk about vocabulary and grammar from the TED talk, react to the topic discussed in the talk, and interact with a huge community of people online through a discussion facilitated by America House’s very own English language Resident!
During this session we will discuss TED Talk by Áine Gallagher: Speaking a second language: it's terrifying but wonderful!
Speaking a second language is a terrifying experience. Comedian and sociologist Áine Gallagher shares stories about the fear and absolute humiliation she experienced in her journey to become an Irish speaker. Ultimately, she describes this as an empowering experience but likes to focus on the horror!
The event will be on Wednesday March 17th at 5:00 PM. The deadline to register is March 17th by 12:00 PM. Before the session you'll receive an email with the link to the online meeting.
