  • What would you do if you were invited to give a 12-minute long TED talk in New York? You have one chance to share your best message with the world. And 2.5 weeks to prepare... If you do it well, millions of people will hear your message. If you mess up, you’ll have blown a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
    This is what Lýdia went through last year. If it was up to her right after delivering the talk, she wouldn’t even let it be published. She felt it was a failure. Many things went wrong during the preparation and delivery. And yet, her talk has reached close to 4 million views in the first 4 months of being online and the numbers are growing. In this talk, Lýdia will share all the behind-the-scenes information on her talk, which, by the way, is hugely about the Polyglot Gathering! You may even glimpse a picture of yourself in one of the slides. ;-)
    Lýdia Machová is a language mentor who helps people learn languages by themselves, just like polyglots do. She’s built a successful online business both in Slovakia and worldwide. She’s spoken at several polyglot events as well as teacher and digital nomad conferences but the invitation to speak at TED still came as a huge surprise. Lýdia is currently living as a “part-time” digital nomad (partially at home in Slovakia, partially traveling :) ) and usually learns a new language every two years, currently working on her 9th one.

    This video was recorded at the Polyglot Gathering in Bratislava 2019 ( www.polyglotbratislava.com/ ).

    I cannot even imagine how the person like you, absolute brilliant speaker can have doubts about the speech in TED.

    Before I watched your TED talk, I was seriously pondering whether I should continue learning Spanish. Your video kept me going. Now, I have reached a stage where I can read small stories in Spanish without needing to translate. Thank you so much for choosing this message. :D

      estás aprendido inglés? Me gustaria escuchar tu historia.

      @@akshay3398 Ya puedo ver una estructura en las oraciones y lo logré gracias a unos cursos de inglés que tome pero donde usabamos métodos que a mí me ayudaban a aprenderlo más facilmente. Este año empecé a practicarlo más para mejorar y poder hablarlo con nativos del idioma.
      I can already see a structure in the sentence, and I succeeded it with an English curse where we used methods that I helped me to learn more efficiently. This year I begin to practice to be better and can talk with native speakers.

    Dear Lydia,
    Seeing your videos I found out why I have been always failling as a language teacher. I've been always interested in methodology! How could I become a language mentor like you? Is there a specific carreer? Love the way you expose your ideas! Thanks!
