OMG, it is so hard to decide which talk is the best!
I picked up this amazingly inspiring TED-talks by Josh Kaufman.
Generally, it is said that we need 10000 hours to develop a new skill.
This "10000 hour rule" often makes us give up trying to master what we want.
Josh encourages us to comlete just 20 hours of focused practice.
45 minutes' practice a day for a month makes you accomplish your goal to some extent!
Actually, he started learning the uklele and performed it on the stage, which was awesome!
I highly recommend you to watch it!
How about applying this rule in learning languages? The first 20 hours will lead you to wonderful destinations!

あるスキルを習熟レベルまで持っていくには10000時間が必要とよく言われます。
これで諦める人がなんと多いことか。しかし、彼は「まず20時間頑張る」ことを勧めます。
1日45分を約1か月頑張れば、ある程度できるようになることは可能!
実際に彼はこれを実行してウクレレを始め、スピーチの中で演奏するのですが、これが感動!
ぜひ見てください。
そして、語学学習にもこのルールは使えますね。まず20時間頑張れば、素晴らしいところに辿り着くかも。
