Theme: Language Acquisition

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized (subject to certain rules and regulations).

Chih-Hsiang Hsieh

Founder of Sicuanga Multilingual League

At age 20, Chih Hsiang was inspired by his professors in linguistics to become a polyglot. For the next 10 years he traveled around the world conducting formal and informal language studies, including field experience in Ecuadorian Kichwa and self-initiated research of KiSwahili in Tanzania. Now Hsieh is freelancing as a teacher, interpreter, and writer to help people communicate their ideas better in different languages. He believes that communication is not only the cornerstone of our society but also the key to successful language acquisition.
