Learning a new language in your 50s | Misha Glenny

The benefits of learning a new language in our older years definitely outweighs the challenges. In this humorous and honest talk, Misha Glenny takes us on his journey of learning Portuguese for the sake of fully immersing himself in Brazilian culture while writing a book on Rio’s underground drug trade. TEDArchive presents previously unpublished talks from TED conferences. Enjoy this unedited talk by Misha Glenny. Filmed at TEDGlobal 2014. NOTE: Comments are disabled on this video. We made this difficult decision for the TED Archive because we believe that a well-moderated conversation allows for better commentary from more people and more viewpoints. Studies show that aggressive and hateful comments silence other commenters and drive them away; unfortunately, YouTube's comment moderation tools are simply not up to the task of allowing us to monitor comments on so many videos at once. (We'd love to see this change, YouTube.) So for now, if you'd like to comment on this talk, please use Facebook, Twitter or G+ to discuss with your networks.
