Marc talked about the process of learning a foreign language and the different levels of fluency. He will show that there is a higher realm of language proficiency and explain what it takes to reach this “native” point where the benefits far surpass mere communication skills. Marc’s passion is the study of languages, their manifestation in local dialects, as well as their expression in poetry and folkloric song. He has acquired a near-native proficiency in six languages and their sub-forms and has given various musical performances.

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 youve 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, hes 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.

Почему человек умеет стоять? Почему сахар сладкий? Почему кошки умываются? Почему слоны большие?
Сможете ли вы дать простой и понятный ответ на этот вопрос? Владимир Антонец не будет отвечать на эти вопросы. Он коснется куда более интересной темы: тому разрыву, который существует между научным сообществом и потребителями.

In an awe-inspiring talk about his journey of overcoming the language barrier, from studying in a local elementary school to interacting with people from a wide diaspora, from being scorned at by his superiors for not being ‘proficient’ in English to mesmerizing people at a global level, Naveen Suman talks about the need for incubating and supporting people’s language at the ground level itself to make them confident enough to express their ideas freely.
With the start of Naya Sawera, based on a concept of peer to peer learning, Naveen Suman has become a motivation for hundreds of children providing them with a platform to hone their talent. Not giving up and instead of seeing it as an opportunity to bounce back even higher, he has proven everyone wrong and shined against all odds.
The winner of the Schneider Go Green 2019 and the National Start-up award 2020 in the energy sector, Naveen Suman is a budding entrepreneur and the co-founder of Aloe ECell Pt. Ltd.
The winner of the Schneider Go Green 2019 and the National Startup award 2020 in the energy sector, Naveen Suman is a budding entrepreneur and the co-founder of Aloe ECell Pvt. Ltd. Cherry on top, he also heads the Big Street Mart as the CEO. With their sharpness and genius, Naveen Suman along with Nimisha Varma came up with the idea of the Aloe batteries. What fueled the recognition of their innovation? Their topnotch confidence and brilliant thinking helped them stand their ground in the finals and succeed as global winners. What does it take to make the world a better and sustainable place to live in? Working on their inquisitiveness, they took aloe extracts, added a few herbal constituents used in beauty products and medicines to form their battery electrolyte, which they then named Green Batteries. Such young minds giving rise to these efficient ideas, push everyone to lend a selfless hand in saving our future. As the two young founders rightly say ‘It’s time to go green’.

Кто такие хулиганы? Хулиганы — это люди, которые не готовы сидеть смирно и быть послушными, и поэтому их постоянно пытаются пожурить и обуздать. Многие поддаются и становятся “удобными”, и лишь малая часть остается верна своей бунтарской энергии.
Этой неуемной, взрывной, мощной энергии обычно очень много в, так называемых, “трудных подростках” — а значит, именно этот возраст особенно неудобен взрослым «дядям и тетям». Но Лариса Афанасьева уверена, что это самая важная сила — не соглашаться с привычным и задавать вопросы миру. Ведь именно бунтари, в итоге, создают так много важных вещей и именно они способы спасти наш мир.

Тамара Эйдельман больше 30 лет преподает в московских школах и за свою жизнь была свидетелем и участником множества конфликтных ситуаций. Ученики издеваются над учителями, учителя выстраивают авторитарный режим, пресекая любое неповиновение, родители мечутся между теми и другими — это словно война всех против всех. И мы к ней, кажется, уже привыкли.
Но Тамара Натановна уверена, что в школе не должно быть места агрессии, издевательствам и унижениям, потому что школа — это не поле для битвы.

For decades, Dr. Andrea Pennington hid her battle with depression and anxiety. As a popular American medical journalist and TV host she survived her high powered media career as a functional depressive. Denying her true passion for artistic expression became so painful that she hit rock bottom with depression and burnout. In despair she went on a journey that led to a surprising musical epiphany, an out of body experience and an awakening, which helped her reconnect to the essence of her Authentic Self. This inspired her to go on a journey of inner work, self-exploration and self-expression.
Now, Dr. Andrea speaks globally to reduce the stigma of mental illness and to support people on their journey to overcoming trauma and embracing authentic living. She also sings and teaches the principles of real self love through the non-profit Real Self Love Movement as part of her mission to help as many people as possible whove also battled self-hatred, imposter syndrome and depression.
Dr. Andrea Pennington is an integrative physician, acupuncturist, meditation teacher and international bestselling author of several books. She is also a documentary filmmaker, visionary brand strategist for Light workers and Founder of the #RealSelfLove Movement. Andreas latest book and song, both entitled I Love You, Me!, explores her personal journey from depression to real self-love.
As shared in her first inspiring TEDx talk entitled Become Who You Really Are, Andrea candidly explains that overcoming long history of hidden depression and anxiety came via an out-of-body near death-line experience which allowed her to break free to love and express her authentic self. She believes that true happiness comes from within and it comes naturally when we integrate our whole being.
As a sought-after media personality Dr. Andrea has shared her candid, empowering insights on vitality and resilience on the Oprah Winfrey Show, the Dr. Oz Show, iTV This Morning, C NN, the Today Show, LUXE-TV, Thrive Global and HuffingtonPost and as a news anchor for Discovery Health Channel. She also produced a 4-part documentary series entitled Simple Steps to a Balanced Natural Pregnancy.
Leveraging her 20 years of experience in broadcast and digital media she proudly helps people bring their brilliance to the world through publishing and media production. Her 21-Day Compassion Meditation Series is useful in breaking down barriers to self-love and deep intimacy. She is also the creator of The Attunement Meditation Process, a 5-step mindfulness meditation taught online and used around the world to lower stress, boost resilience and enhance intimacy.
