Many of us find it hard enough to give an effective speech or presentation in our mother tongue. So, imagine trying to do it in a second or even third language. Fortunately, with the right coaching and practice, you can learn the necessary speaking skills and they are transferable so that giving speeches in other languages is achievable.
For as long as I can remember, I’ve had a passion for languages – speaking them and the insights they give you into other people, countries and cultures.
I decided to put my money where my mouth is and take on the challenge of crafting and delivering speeches in French; my second language. Here’s a snippet from a recent speech about a trip to Champagne – Dans les champs de Champagne.

Tips for giving speeches in other languages

My challenge to self is going well. Furthermore, here are some tips I’ve picked up about giving speeches in a second language:
  • The skills are, indeed, transferable
  • You need to allow yourself more time to prepare – unless you are completely bilingual, the process takes a bit longer
  • Having a mentor or coach is not just a good idea; it’s essential to get inside the language and culture
  • A growth mindset is a huge asset
  • Connection, not perfection has never been more meaningful
  • People really appreciate you making the effort to speak their language; it’s a powerful sign of respect.

Why it’s worth the effort

This experience is giving me even more respect for people who give speeches in a language that is not their mother tongue. It’s something many of you are required to do in your professional lives and, sometimes, in your personal lives. Don’t be put off. Transfer your skills and you can be on the way to giving speeches in other languages.

L’appareil-photo ne ment jamais!
or
The camera never lies!

 

 

A speech in French about the creation of meaning in a photograph.  I suggest that the camera itself does not produce meaning. Rather, it is nothing more than an inanimate object that captures or supports the intentions of other ‘creators’. I focus on three key roles:

  • the photographer as the person who decides what to include in the picture, the lighting, depth of field, etc
  • the editor who uses software too ‘adjust’ the in-camera image
  • the viewer who brings their own experiences and perspectives to what they see.

Following a brief consideration of the the role of each in producing meaning, I ask the audience to reflect on their own role in the creation of meaning the next time they look at a photograph.

I’ve decided to start speaking in French and I’m delighted to tell you I’ve just delivered my first speech at Experience French Toastmasters club.

Icebreaker speech

It’s called On parle le francais en France? and tells the story of how, as a little girl, I discovered that English is not the only language in the world!
