Snack-Sized Language Episode 27: Let's Get Physical

In this episode of the podcast, we talk about exercise and how it relates to language learning — both in combining it and using it as a general lifestyle choice. Want to keep learning with us? Join Language Conqueror. In This Lesson, You Learned: Shannon's perspective on fitness and a few practices you can try out: Listen to a foreign language podcast while working out Listen to foreign language music to get pumped for my exercise Listen to a foreign language podcast while on a walk Complete language lessons with an app like Duolingo or Drops while on the elliptical or stationary bike Watch a foreign language tv show while on the elliptical or stationary bike Take an exercise lesson in a foreign language (even if it's watching a youtube video lesson) Count reps, points, sets, etc. in your target language for a bit of number practice. Featured Trade Secret: You use similar parts of your brain when you learn as when you move and so combining the two has a good chance of improving neural connections. So even if sport or fitness aren't your thing, try adding some sort of physical motion or movement to your language learning to one of your study sessions this week. It can be doing a walk around the room as you listen to a podcast, or one squat between each prompt/question on Duolingo. However you want to go about it is up to you.
