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 you’ve 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, he’s 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. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at

If you want to learn a language efficiently it needs to be watered, it needs sunlight, and it needs other seedlings around it- so other people to converse with so your language usage will blossom. Mr Wyner I enjoyed your TEDx talk.
Wonderful speech, that's true, words in context, by this way is more easy to learn
I'm learning Italian. It's much easier to speak it than to understand it.
Yes, the final part and these words were damn great
if you wanna learn a language efficiently, you need to give that language life – i'll remember that
Every word needs to connect to sounds and images, and scents and tastes and emotions
every bit of grammar can't be some abstract grammatical code.
it needs to be something that can help you tell your story"
wow
why is he trying to be funny
And he bacame addicted to the feeling of thinking in a completely new way
What does he mean ?
Myth? Really? Did the audience buy it?
As an English teacher i completely agree with this guy! His method of learning language is genius! Frankly, I `ve had it in my life experience and got great results! Practically, you can learn any language using it!
Brilliant speech!🎉 I agree with every word! This guy inspires with his ability to speak in public! I want to be able to do the same someday!
Best TedX talk ever. This man is waaaaaaay smarter than I!
It's absolutely true! Astonishingly but it really works! Everyone is able to memorize a wide range of words and grammatical rules. The author talks about method related to associations. And I'd been convinced in efficiency of this method on my own experience!
"if you wanna learn a language efficiently, you need to give that language life
Every word needs to connect to sounds and images, and scents and tastes and emotions
Every bit of grammar can't be some abstract grammatical code
It needs to be something that can help you tell your story"
"and if you do this, you will find that the words begin to stick to your mind
and the grammar begins to stick too"
holy guacamole I'm taken aback so hard
i’m trying to learn german and i’m so happy i came upon Gabriel Wyner’s talk. Bravo 🥹
Im learning French on Duolingo…and i realised i need someone to talk to me in French to get fluency
So im talking to myself in French 😅 front of the mirror
Wow what an amazing TED talk, people sometimes say how you need to live or visit some place to learn its language, yet don't really have a good explanation to it, this guy actually gave thought and found the main thing to learn a language, living it, experiencing it.

Всем привет!
Спасибо за видео.
И да , на практике сработает – мы реально запомним то ,что пережито нами эмоционально ,тактильный контакт , визуально и т.д ,когда задействованы все органы чувств!
F
Please somebody suggest me I want to speak English fluently I m struggling learning English since when I was child
One of the best TEDx 👍👍👍
perfect speech❤️
That's is definitely good idea to give a language life because if we personalize it we can easier to connect some of the notion to our own experience. So when we try to recall a rule or a word the next time we won't be remembering an example from the book but will the one that we made
great ted talk
