Yesterday I spent the entire day traveling just for a one hour speaking lesson. It was a six-hour round trip to Melbourne, back and forth on the same day. Every minute was worth it. On October 25th I will be delivering my TEDxAlbury talk and I want my message to be as clear and impactful as possible.
Even the smallest mouth movement can change everything when switching between languages. The way Mandarin and English use the tongue and mouth varies quite a lot, and I’ve learned that even a tiny adjustment makes all the difference in clarity.
I grew up in Taiwan where Mandarin was the language I spoke every day. Later in life I moved to Australia and English became my second language. Speaking in English carries my background with it, and I see it as part of my story rather than a limitation.
This preparation is about more than language. It is about showing that the message of healthy body image is so important that I am willing to go the extra mile, literally, to make sure it reaches more people. My journey from Taiwan to Australia reminds me that with commitment and purpose we can grow into the voice we are meant to share.
