Ted Talks-in your language?!?

Updated: Jan 2, 2020

TedXTalks allows us to discover new perspectives, breakthroughs, ideas, and insights. As much as they could improve the world, they can also help you learn your language!





Recently, I was searching for videos to watch in my target language, Spanish. After scrolling through a few, a ted talk in Spanish popped up in my recommendation list.

Mind blowing moment right there.

Ted X Talks are the best. Not only is the content interesting, but the speakers are so inspiring. If you haven't watched one yet, Ted X Talks are basically invited speakers who talk about wide range of topics, science, politics, or just random fun ideas.

Now they're in foreign languages too! As of right now, I know they have it in Spanish, French, and German (Spanish being the language with most videos) There are only a few in Chinese. However, you can also just put on your target langue subtitles in regular Ted X Talk videos.

They also have a podcast!


Even if you aren't interested in what they say, I still recommend you put it on while you go on with your daily life.

I know there is some controversy over passive listening, but I think at the very minimum you can improve your pronunciation because you hear how words are being sounded out. (active listening is definitely a much better option)

There are of course many other YouTube channels, but for those who love Ted Talks and learning languages, you're in luck! :)
