Sharing my First TED-Style Talk "The Power of Language"


Ciao a tutti e bentornati sulla mia pagina! (Hello, everyone and welcome to my page!) I wanted to start off by apologizing for not writing on here for a few months. I have to admit that senior year has been much busier than I originally thought, so I hope that you understand. Despite my inactivity, I’m happy to start regularly blogging again for the rest of the year. Though I’m still unsure as to what the future awaits me, I know that this year will be filled with many new adventures.




For today’s post, I’m sharing the links to part 1 and part 2 of the TED-style talk that I gave on Thursday, March 28th titled The Power of Language. The name of my talk was inspired by my favorite post on this blog with the same name, because the feedback that you all gave me about it was so incredible that I felt that I had to share it with all of you a few years later.

Are you curious about how my bilingual upbringing and bicultural identity have influenced me throughout my life? Do you want to know how I have managed to reach conversational fluency in 6 languages and an advanced level in a 7th language at the age of 22? If you answered yes to any, or both of those questions, I highly encourage you to watch both parts of my talk.

Once again, I want to thank each and every one of you. None of this would have been possible alone. In fact, most of what I have been able to achieve has taken years of unending love and support from my friends and especially my parents and my sister, Carolina. Espero que sepan que los amo con todo mi corazón. Gracias por siempre apoyarme en todos mis empeños y por ayudarme a realizar todos mis sueños.

Thank you for everything! // Muchas gracias por todo! // Je vous remercie pour tout! // Danke für alles! // Grazie di tutto! // Спасибо вам за всё! // Obrigada por tudo!


Yours,
Laura
