Oh!! Her voice, her pitch, intonation, pronunciation and above all her dazzling smile and the life like colours that her beautiful face emits .....for all..... Cheer and applause!!!
Roxanne is awesome while sharing his love for the languages. Nobody can not communicate without learning a language. The more languages you learn the less difficulty you feel connecting to others. There's endless linguistic and dialectical diversity in the world.
being Filipino gave me an opportunity to be born bilingual because here in the Philippines my native tongue maybe is Filipino, but still we grew up learning like we are really exposed in English language at the same time. And we have almost 175 dialects here too that I can consider another language too. It's fascinating that I haven't think about it until you said it, now I'm learning korean and like the word 안녕하세요 that can translated to 'Hello' in English but my korean teacher who grew up here in the Philippines said that it's not just 'Hello' like in English that we used to, it's more like 'Kamusta ka?' in Tagalog which can be translated to English as well, 'How are you?' see the difference? the degree of emotion and meaning behind and how you used and view it can be really different and it will just know if we really learn and exposed ourselves in different languages.
When i look at your face carefully i see a full moon when i look at your smiling face i see shining stars there when i look at your eyes carefully i see a shining sun there. you are everything. you are the owner of natural beauty. You look soooo honest , gentle and polite at all. Love you and appreciate you from my authentic heart and soul!
My first language Malayalam doesn't have the word "sorry" ( with an exception of an archaic word "kshamikkanam" that no one uses) So the previous generation was kinda okay to hurt other people and not apologizing at all. the next generation, because of their exposure to English, created a word "saramilla" (literally "not serious") and started being nicer to each other. The current generation, on the other hand, found that even this word isn't enough and borrowed the word "sorry" to our language and started being nicer than our ancestors. The same thing happened with the word "thank you" which we did not have a generation before. Everything makes perfect sense in light of your presentation. Thank you
Your language seems to be very brutal and un-civilized sorry to state that. In my language, we have different synonymous terms to apologize and to show gratefulness.
My has not sorry and please and we borrowed from Arabic and we use it, but some people don't like these 2 words because they think that u are not honest or coward! Somali
Thank-you, Satheesh. Your comment is both interesting and insightful. I live in a city in England which has many people from around the world who moved here within the past 25 years. There have people within 100 metres of here speaking many different languages, including Malayalam, as well as Vietnamese, Mandarin, Japanese, Cantonese, Tamil, Urdu, Portuguese, French, German, Greek, Italian, Polish, Russian, Czech, Slovak Slovenian, Latvian, Estonian, Lithuanian, Bulgarian, Hungarian, Xhosa, Arabic, and more. It has been fascinating and educational to become acquainted with many of them, and to learn a little about their cultures and words from some of their tongues. This video makes me wish that opportunities to learn other languages had been available to me more than 50 years ago. :-)
One of the best TEDx Talk I have heard so far. This speech contains everything, good voice, humor, emotion, information, teaching, quotes, pauses, attention grabbing, logic, authority, and everything which makes a speech excellent. Keep Going... KR, Adnan.
Ms Roxanne pomerantz, One is a lucky one who can know all about your way of clarifying many things on learning processes leading to appreciate differences in languages and their impactfully conveying a message to the watchers that language learning is not problematic despite linguistic barriers. Really, you are a good and an aesthetically beautiful language learning inspiring instructor to your virtual audience, globally. Fortunately, have heard you on Tedz Talks.Thanks for shedding light on relative and deterministic theories relating to linguistics. A sweet performance by a beautiful Hebrew teacher, a language one has no passion for Not respondig to be learning it with such performer assuring that one can learn as many languages as one wishes if one goes as Ms Roxanne Pomerantz has advised. Best wishes from Islamabad Pakistan.
this is such a great video. very insightful and true. the speaker makes the listeners to do what they need to do after listening to her. she is a wonderful and effective speaker indeed. thank you.
I found this presentation and I learned a lot about the ability and the consequences that children in early ages be able to speak different languages....being an spanish speaking person and having this very rich language I think your comments and ideas are very useful , Thank you
I loved the speech. I also agree that being multilingual is very useful because of globalization. It helps people to communicate more fruitfully with each other.It makes your mind more flexible. It is just interesting to learn a new language coz it is both challenging and rewarding. It is like a key to a treasure and a feast for the brain.
I searched this up, here's a reason why. Well I'm a Filipino who was born in a country where most people spoke in Arabic, and both my parents speak in another language which was is considered a part of our ethnicity. The philippines has 7107 islands, with 3 divisions:Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao. and a vast variety of languages. It's also considered the 3rd largest English speaking country in the world. So if you plan coming here, you won't have much trouble with the language barriers. Especially in really city-urban places like Manila. Well I'm from Mindanao, a place where many Muslims and many distinct cultures form this big bond of love of culture. Were most Christian but I'm a muslim, who has parents who speak different languages and me and my sister speaks only English. Where in my place, speaking in English while being pale or white skinned is considered a sign of wealth and beauty. But being a 12 year old. I didn't give much importance. Yes since we both speak English we are called English speakers. We were teased as children for not being able to speak like them. This further led us to not speak the language but distant ourselves from our culture and real roots. We became isolated from people who wanted to speak to us but just is too afraid that we might not like them. At this age people ask why do I speak in English when both my parents are native from here. Well I was born from another country, left that country at age 9 and was afraid if people would bully me because I was different. Well actually they teased me, but I rose up from them all. I became top of the class for the first time. One time there we had an exam in Filipino, where none of my classmates in my new school got perfect but me, and I barely knew most of the language. Filipino. "I may not speak same as you, but I can understand you" is what would I say when I make friends. I hope more people would understand the way language barriers affect children who are migrating to another country. Just the bullying was so bad, yeah it really is. But just remember that YOU DONT NEED TO CHANGE WHO YOU ARE COMPLETELY JUST BECAUSE YOU DONT 'BELONG' HERE.
That gesture is not really an insult in Italy. It just means that you do not know what somebody is saying or why he or she is acting in a certain way. But it is not something you would consider as offensive unless you are hypersensitive.
My take home message: 1. Children is able to learn up to 25 languages before they reach 7 years old (critical period) 2. language shapes the way your perception, recognition and behaviours (linguistic relativity) Experiment: key? In German is a muscular word, whereas in Spanish is feminine. They will describe this word based on their interpretation 3. Language is part of our identity. 4. By overcome language barrier in the young generation, will reduce the increasing gap between languages as they are all evolving, fast! And by doing so, eliminate unnecessary misunderstanding and discriminations between cultrues.
Also, your ability to access your memory is directly related to your breadth and knowledge of your vocabulary. Every decision you make is just a consequence of memories. i think i fall in love with the speaker omg
Hi Linda, thank you so much! I would love to chat about the topic. I sent you an email but didn't get a response. Would love if you post the questions here! :)
“Learning another language is not only learning different words for the same things, but learning another way to think about things.” - Flora Lewis As a Spanish teacher with German and English proficiency, I totally agree with this.
I always believe that the language you speak shapes the way you think and influences your behaviors and thank you for your brilliant explanation!! I feel like I have a completely different personality when I speak English instead of my first language. I find it interesting that people always start the convo with How are you/How's everything etc. when speaking English but I would just jump into the topic when speaking Mandarine. Even though you can translate "how are you" into Mandarine easily you would never do that coz it's just not part of the Chinese culture. and the way you start a conversation then influences where the conversation goes, which can lead to a completely different result depending on the language. This is so amazing. and I love the fact she pointed out that the ability to access your memory is related to the knowledge of your vocab. Many people think reading and going to school is useless. but now I can tell them that we do that to learn more vocabularies in order to create a more colorful memory before we die :)
The critical period only relates to accent. Yes children do learn a language with out an accent if they have access to both languages. Yet native like can happen after adulthood minors the accent.
I'm not sure even that matters unless you want to be a foreign spy! I think the presenter was just trying to find an interesting "hook", but I personally really don't believe it at all.
Yeah it’s not accurate. Neither is that determinism is universally and completely proven - it’s divided in two soft and hard determinism and hard determinism is confirmed to not be true - as is taught in most linguistics 101 classes. :/
i don't understand anything she said, but still i watched her till end, just to see her smiling face. couldn't find a suitable word, to describe how beautiful her smile is.
I'M SORRY...I AM ITALIAN (4.46)...THAT IT'S DEFINITELY NOT A GREAT INSULT IN ITALY...MOVING YOUR HAND LIKE THAT MEANS THAT YOU ARE ASKING FOR SOMETHING.
Secondo me 3LAMESTUDIO ha ragione. Il video è interessante però mi sembra un po' esagerato definire quel gesto come un insulto. Può essere al massimo un modo colloquiale per esprimere sorpresa in base a ciò che si è sentito o per comunicare di non aver capito qualcosa.
I was feeling sad before when i start watching your speech i auto happy cause your smiling face ampact and encourage me to cross over my struggling with smile face thank you so much!
Language barrier; that influence our behaviour, thought and feeling, when we need link in with our memories before, language is an important part to call it back, because language influence our interpretation definition about our feeling
Ironically also borrowed from German. Fernweh (literally "far-hurt") is more of a feeling of longing, almost a sadness or malaise that you're missing something by not traveling. In contrast, in German at least, Wanderlust connotes more of a restless impulse to go exploring.
Super cool talk - loved the way how you can learn one new language (here Italian) by trying to connect the words with the language you are trying to perfect (Yiddish or Hebrew) - double thumbs up !!
Brilliant talk! As a language enthusiast and English teacher myself, I've made friends with people from a lot of other countries and I explore into music from other languages a lot - even if I don't learn or speak that language. I studied music at university and did my final essay paper on ethnomusicology.
Dear rox... You are a great spaker. You voice is ready to change the people who listen to you in anyway. I am very much interested in the topic you discussed. I am thankful to you about the learning languages. 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Fascinating subject, captivatingly delivered, thematically adjacent to context-driven language switching by bilingual siblings that produce different results in childhood conflict scenarios, and whether switching to the mother's or the father's language produces a different result, and does it do so in some languages and not in others. Phew. Incidentally, that "Italian gesture" is a 3-D matrix like lasagne, with many potential nuances depending on which part you taste. The gesture is tempting for non-Italians because it is so cinematographically Italian, but it does require practice. Most polite Italians would use the gesture only embryonically, the fingers instantly opening flowerlike downwards with an interrogative outwards twist and raising of the wrist, while pressing the elbow to the body's side, and a slight shoulder shrug with questioningly raised eyebrows and the head moving backwards in mock surprise. The gesture itself can convey a vast range of meanings, from merely curious to in-your-face-rude, from "I'm sincerely interested to know what you mean" to "Are you messing with me" to more genealogical insinuations relative the interlocutor's family. It can also be expanded by using both arms while looking around the room in an appeal to the general public, or to the divine, for sympathy in the face of such stupidity. The height of the hand, it's speed, and its spatial positioning are essential parameters that can totally change the meaning. Use with care, and mind the height of your chin.
انها تتحدث بطريقه جذابة و تتحدث بطلاقة عجيبة، شي مدهش جدا ， أعجبني اسلوبها في الكلام ❤️ 她说话说得真好啊她让我感到喜欢她。 She is an amazing speaker, she speaks very fluent and the topics is so interesting, I really admire her.
Patrick Mc Nally. Regarding gender association and it's impact on people's perception. This is interesting, my first language is English, and my native language is Irish. In Irish the word for girl is cailín which is masculine. If any other European language has a word for girl which is feminine, then we could carry out an interesting experiment. Get two native speakers of the two different languages to describe the word GIRL in their own language In one language it is masculine and in the other it is feminine. Then we could see what impact it has on peoples' perception. Patrick
natura092 Hi natura092, thank you for your question. I will try to keep it simple and short about what I meant I was brought up speaking English like most people living in Ireland. But the indigenous or native language of Ireland is the Gaelic language, also called Irish. Gaelic or Irish is the official state language along with English in the southern part of Ireland, also known as The Irish Republic. I was born and live in the northern part of the island. People still speak the Gaelic our native tongue, but it has declined in the face of the dominance of the English language. Many factors played a part in its decline. The cards were stacked against it. It is coming back and reviving through the country. Only time will tell if it returns to its former status. Obviously, I am learning the Gaelic like thousands of other people to various degrees and levels, because it is a difficult language to master. So Natura 092 you can see my mother spoke in English my first language but as you can see, I hope, that I am learning my native language with another language parent as best I can. I hope this helps. If you would like to ask me any other questions regarding this matter, that's fine. Thank you again for your question. Slán agus beannacht. Patrick
patrick mcnally In German Das Mädchen is the words for The Girl. It is considered a neutral or neuter noun, thusfar, receiving the adjective das which is for neuter nouns.
BTW, Roxanne, that gesture you made it's not an insult par se in Italian. It kinda means "what?" but in a rude manner. Like "what the f*** you want?". That's why it's offensive for us Italians :)
Lol I always thought that gesture you made always meant something really rude in Italian since Russel Peter's mentioned it. Great video, it was easy to listen to.

In India, every state has a unique language, Hence generally most of Indian (Specially South Indian) learns 3 languages (State language, national language, and English), plus other languages. I can speak 3 languages + Java, C, C++, Fortran, Pascal, Ruby, Python etc :-)
I'm so touched by her speech. Yes, I totally agree with her. Learning other languages has much to do with being interested in other people, other culture and other country. I'm trying to learn English. Reading, Listening and Writing is okay but it's not easy when it comes to speaking English. What should I do?
Try to use apps on your phone. On that way I improve my vocabulary from intermeddiate to advance. I recomend you to listen to Chris Lonsdale. I would try to learn Italian by his way on 6 months.
I'm sorry but what do you mean by that: "The languages that your child is exposed to before the age of 7 are the only languages that he or she will be exposed later in life"?
I think she meant that most people acquire a language and continue using it as their native tongue (or even as the only language) because conditions don't usually change: they have same parents, same environment to live in etc. So unless someone moves to another country and spends the rest of their lives there, they will most probably stick to their native tongue, i.e. what they were exposed to before 7.
I just came here to learn English and discover the minds of the people who are taking. ❤️🇮🇶

The first time i had a trouble in speaking, I was shy whenever i think about it... But now everything has changed !
I searched this up, here's a reason why.
Well I'm a Filipino who was born in a country where most people spoke in Arabic, and both my parents speak in another language which was is considered a part of our ethnicity.
The philippines has 7107 islands, with 3 divisions:Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao. and a vast variety of languages. It's also considered the 3rd largest English speaking country in the world.

That gesture is not really an insult in Italy. It just means that you do not know what somebody is saying or why he or she is acting in a certain way. But it is not something you would consider as offensive unless you are hypersensitive.
My take home message:
1. Children is able to learn up to 25 languages before they reach 7 years old (critical period)
2. language shapes the way your perception, recognition and behaviours (linguistic relativity)
Experiment: key? In German is a muscular word, whereas in Spanish is feminine.
They will describe this word based on their interpretation
3. Language is part of our identity.
4. By overcome language barrier in the young generation, will reduce the increasing gap between languages as they are all evolving, fast! And by doing so, eliminate unnecessary misunderstanding and discriminations between cultrues.
Also, your ability to access your memory is directly related to your breadth and knowledge of your vocabulary.

Language barrier; that influence our behaviour, thought and feeling, when we need link in with our memories before, language is an important part to call it back, because language influence our interpretation definition about our feeling
I am thoroughly impressed and inspired! I will pass this on! You named the value of language!
hi😮!

I absolutely impressed about your lecture.
7:06 - That word does exist, it's called wanderlust.
Ironically also borrowed from German. Fernweh (literally "far-hurt") is more of a feeling of longing, almost a sadness or malaise that you're missing something by not traveling. In contrast, in German at least, Wanderlust connotes more of a restless impulse to go exploring.
Everyone talk about her love and smile.. Let her read it and replay to all...hopefully
I can see her smiling all day long.
I really amazed listening your speech... It’s an awesome speech what you delivered...
Super cool talk - loved the way how you can learn one new language (here Italian) by trying to connect the words with the language you are trying to perfect (Yiddish or Hebrew) - double thumbs up !!

Wow!! sweet voice you have. Really golden words you have been told us.
Buenas tardes realmente impresionado si hubieran más jóvenes como usted el mundo sería otro.
Brilliant talk! As a language enthusiast and English teacher myself, I've made friends with people from a lot of other countries and I explore into music from other languages a lot - even if I don't learn or speak that language. I studied music at university and did my final essay paper on ethnomusicology.
Thanks, Robbie! I love that this video reached you. Keep spreading the love and power of languages, music and friends around the world :)
I like the way she speaks very kind
Great! "Could we by reducing language barriers, reduce other barriers in society? "
Dear rox... You are a great spaker. You voice is ready to change the people who listen to you in anyway. I am very much interested in the topic you discussed.
I am thankful to you about the learning languages. 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Fascinating subject, captivatingly delivered, thematically adjacent to context-driven language switching by bilingual siblings that produce different results in childhood conflict scenarios, and whether switching to the mother's or the father's language produces a different result, and does it do so in some languages and not in others. Phew. Incidentally, that "Italian gesture" is a 3-D matrix like lasagne, with many potential nuances depending on which part you taste. The gesture is tempting for non-Italians because it is so cinematographically Italian, but it does require practice. Most polite Italians would use the gesture only embryonically, the fingers instantly opening flowerlike downwards with an interrogative outwards twist and raising of the wrist, while pressing the elbow to the body's side, and a slight shoulder shrug with questioningly raised eyebrows and the head moving backwards in mock surprise. The gesture itself can convey a vast range of meanings, from merely curious to in-your-face-rude, from "I'm sincerely interested to know what you mean" to "Are you messing with me" to more genealogical insinuations relative the interlocutor's family. It can also be expanded by using both arms while looking around the room in an appeal to the general public, or to the divine, for sympathy in the face of such stupidity. The height of the hand, it's speed, and its spatial positioning are essential parameters that can totally change the meaning. Use with care, and mind the height of your chin.
I like so much
Well described, and gave me a good insight dude... thankyou.

Regarding gender association and it's impact on people's perception. This is interesting, my first language is English, and my native language is Irish.
In Irish the word for girl is cailín which is masculine.
If any other European language has a word for girl which is feminine, then we could carry out an interesting experiment. Get two native speakers of the two different languages to describe the word GIRL in their own language
In one language it is masculine and in the other it is feminine. Then we could see what impact it has on peoples' perception. Patrick
could you explain me the differences between first language and native language, please?
natura092
Hi natura092,
thank you for your question.
I will try to keep it simple and short about what I meant
I was brought up speaking English like most people living in Ireland. But the indigenous or native language of Ireland is the Gaelic language, also called Irish.
Gaelic or Irish is the official state language along with English in the southern part of Ireland, also known as The Irish Republic.
I was born and live in the northern part of the island.
People still speak the Gaelic our native tongue, but it has declined in the face of the dominance of the English language. Many factors played a part in its decline.
The cards were stacked against it.
It is coming back and reviving through the country.
Only time will tell if it returns to its former status.
Obviously, I am learning the Gaelic like thousands of other people to various degrees and levels, because it is a difficult language to master.
So Natura 092 you can see my mother spoke in English my first language but as you can see, I hope, that I am learning my native language with another language parent as best I can.
I hope this helps. If you would like to ask me any other questions regarding this matter, that's fine.
Thank you again for your question.
Slán agus beannacht.
Patrick
patrick mcnally In German Das Mädchen is the words for The Girl. It is considered a neutral or neuter noun, thusfar, receiving the adjective das which is for neuter nouns.

I like very much the voice of the speech & personality.thanks Roxanne ma'm
Poetry is indeed the key that shapes language and our worldview: the Power of Metaphores and Methonymies is amazing, very cool video!!!
Hello, Roxanne! Regards from Brazil! Congratulations on your talk!
Hi Roxanne, you have now German subtitles. :-)
+Thomas Seibt Thank you so much, Thomas!!!
BTW, Roxanne, that gesture you made it's not an insult par se in Italian. It kinda means "what?" but in a rude manner.
Like "what the f*** you want?". That's why it's offensive for us Italians :)
Lol I always thought that gesture you made always meant something really rude in Italian since Russel Peter's mentioned it. Great video, it was easy to listen to.
@@roxannepomerantz3799 u will have subtitles in portuguese too. I speak german too, but u already have in this languaje. I'll put it in portuguese.
@@roxannepomerantz3799 you are cute... As well intelligent..
You are so grateful and beautiful speech
First I want to tell One thing you are looking very beautiful and your way of presenting was awesome
I love the way she speaks❤❤❤
hello Roxanne, Thanks for your beautiful explanation. I am Korean speaking Japanese English. Send love from Seoul! :D
In India, every state has a unique language, Hence generally most of Indian (Specially South Indian) learns 3 languages (State language, national language, and English), plus other languages.
I can speak 3 languages + Java, C, C++, Fortran, Pascal, Ruby, Python etc :-)
I m in love with your face ❤️❤️❤️
The way u explain about multi language is very well and that of course continue allows to over come that pleasant ideas thank u
is this girl in love or something?!
She's in love with Languages. What you see is her passion for them. Amazing right?
it is tedx teaching
hah! i think you got it right
she's smiling the whole time because she thinks it's good for her audience even thought it helps nothing.
Abdelrahman Mohamed what i know is I m in love with her
I'm so touched by her speech. Yes, I totally agree with her. Learning other languages has much to do with being interested in other people, other culture and other country. I'm trying to learn English. Reading, Listening and Writing is okay but it's not easy when it comes to speaking English. What should I do?
Try to use apps on your phone. On that way I improve my vocabulary from intermeddiate to advance. I recomend you to listen to Chris Lonsdale. I would try to learn Italian by his way on 6 months.
English is a Linear language, is your language also Linear?
I'm sorry but what do you mean by that:
"The languages that your child is exposed to before the age of 7 are the only languages that he or she will be exposed later in life"?
whez08 my question, too. She must have meant something different by that.
Wondering this too...
Ciao=3%6-
B5 ,
I think she meant that most people acquire a language and continue using it as their native tongue (or even as the only language) because conditions don't usually change: they have same parents, same environment to live in etc. So unless someone moves to another country and spends the rest of their lives there, they will most probably stick to their native tongue, i.e. what they were exposed to before 7.
such a out standing pesonality
Great !I Love it! Thanks for your kind Idea!
