Learning to communicate in a different language is not easy, and often we give up the goal far too soon. In this Ted Talk, Charlie challenges you to think differently about learning. He advocates that a change in mindset can help you get past the barriers that inhibit our language learning careers. Charlie Naples is currently a junior at Syracuse University where he is a triple major in Finance, Accounting, and Spanish. At Syracuse University, he is a junior analyst for the Orange Value Fund, ski races for the university and serves as an abroad ambassador for Madrid, Spain. Charlie spent his summer interning at a consulting firm in Madrid and will be interning in Structured Finance at Ernst & Young this summer. Charlie’s talk will focus on his journey and experiences while learning another language. He hopes to inspire others to preserver through the challenge of learning a language and open their eyes to the benefits of becoming bilingual. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
