Ep.87: Why Learning English Is Like Going To The Gym

from Learn English with: My Life and Other Funny Stories

Today, I have a special message for you. And I don’t say this lightly… Learning English is basically the same as going to the gym. Or eating healthy. Really, let me prove it to you.Why are these two things - fitness and language learning - basically twins? I was thinking about it, again, when I was listening to a fitness podcast and fitness coaching and how much of fitness coaching I can see in language teaching and coaching too. It is really interesting. I feel like when you make this connection, it really makes learning languages more tangible - tangible is that it is real, you can basically touch it, feel it, experience it - what I mean by that is that speaking a language is a skill, it is invisible, it is in our mind - the results are difficult to track if you don’t write a level test every other month. But with working out, you can see physical results in the real world after a while and maybe, if I give you this connection, it will help you visualize what learning a language looks like in our head. So imagine that learning a language is something like working out for our brain. Why? Let me explain…⭐Přepis a slovíčka: TADY⭐ Napiš mi zprávu, jak se ti to líbilo (můj instagram:) TADY (@dagmar–tomaskova)email: [email protected] Hosted on Acast.
