In our rapidly developing modern society, AI has proven itself to be an increasingly dominating trend. For the field of languages, this could mean AI power over human brains. Under such circumstances, have you ever thought about why we still learn multiple languages? Whether learning languages is an enjoyable or a stressful experience for you at the present stage - hopefully, this talk will provide you with some new inspirations.

Candice Hua is a Grade 9 student at Huili School Shanghai, the deputy house captain of Hui House for 2 years, and the winner of the ‘Master Award’ for the 2020-21 school year. A passionate lover of psychology, social sciences, and linguistics, she likes to find the hidden beauty behind different languages and cultures.
In our rapidly developing modern society, where people are overloaded with all kinds of information, learning a language is sadly becoming less and less popular. More of us tend to believe that AI technologies will handle translation processes, leaving us unmotivated to explore further. Having gone “against the tide,” Candice has generated many unique and fascinating insights as she compares languages (and dialects!). Whether learning languages is an enjoyable or stressful experience for you at present, hopefully, today’s talk will provide you with some new inspirations. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
