Yukiko Nakayama : Simple English for Everyone

Simple English for Everyone  (transcript)
I found a great talk and I want people who are non-native speakers of English and especially, who give up to study English to watch it. The speaker was depressed many times because she couldn't use English and she couldn't speak in front of many people. However, she overcame it and this time, she stood on the TED stage.
Her idea is to use only simple English. We don't need to use the usual English that native speakers use every day. For example, you don’t have to say, “I was interested in your talk,” or “I found your idea great.” You don’t have to say that. You can also say, “Your talk interests me,” because those are difficult.

We can say, “I like your idea.” This is simple English that can show, tell your thoughts, and you can continue communicating. It changes your communication. 👍
