Josh Kaufman is the author of the #1 international bestseller, ‘The Personal MBA: Master the Art of Business’, as well as the upcoming book ‘The First 20 Hours: Mastering the Toughest Part of Learning Anything.’ Josh specializes in teaching people from all walks of life how to master practical knowledge and skills. In his talk, he shares how having his first child inspired him to approach learning in a whole new way.

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)

استغفر الله و الحمد لله

I want to learn Japanese from so long
I couldn't succeed because i was inconsistent
Now, I want to try this!

Nobody was ever foolish enough to believe it takes 10,000 hours to learn something. It was always about professional expertise

Not very good , skip first 10 minuteS

Calm guidance with practical prompts makes the learning path feel simple and encouraging I post similar bite‑sized lessons as well and would love your thoughts on how I can improve.

Lovely clarity and approachable rhythm; it’s easy to follow and try along �� How do you plan speaking prompts for shy learners? I also share small English practice clips and would truly value any feedback you’re comfortable giving.

The balance of listening and speaking moments is spot on; your timing leaves room to try aloud comfortably �� Any advice for balancing listening and speaking time? Also, I’m sharing related micro-practice content and would genuinely appreciate any advice you can offer.
