00:00:00.360 --> 00:00:05.360
Hello friends this episode is all about slowing down
1
00:00:06.340 --> 00:00:10.740
So please relax and enjoy the ride on our language story.
2
00:00:11.560 --> 00:00:13.860
I'm Daniel Goodson, the Language learner.
3
00:00:14.560 --> 00:00:16.060
This is my fluent podcast. (Itunes, Stitcher, spotify)
4
00:00:18.140 --> 00:00:22.140
I thought I'd do something a little different this weekend and
record.
5
00:00:22.300 --> 00:00:27.900
an episode on the go about a topic which is not directly something
to do with learning languages.
6
00:00:28.340 --> 00:00:30.340
Well, at least not 100%
7
00:00:30.800 --> 00:00:34.000
What I will still intecrate some language learning elements, of
course.
8
00:00:35.300 --> 00:00:37.600
It's more of a self-awareness thing.
9
00:00:38.000 --> 00:00:38.600
nist time
10
00:00:39.180 --> 00:00:41.480
Don't forget those who are not into this.
11
00:00:42.140 --> 00:00:45.840
There will be normal episodes in the future. Don't worry about
that.
12
00:00:46.500 --> 00:00:53.300
Well, actually I went for a walk in the forest. Fortunately, I live
about four minutes on foot.
13
00:00:53.860 --> 00:00:54.860
by the forest
14
00:00:55.020 --> 00:00:57.220
And several thoughts came to mind...
15
00:00:57.700 --> 00:00:58.700
...while I was walking...
16
00:00:59.280 --> 00:01:03.480
The audio quality was not very good. So I recorded afterwards.
17
00:01:04.060 --> 00:01:07.160
Although I must say the ambience noise...
18
00:01:07.580 --> 00:01:08.180
..in the background..
19
00:01:08.680 --> 00:01:10.480
...are from my recordings.
20
00:01:11.140 --> 00:01:11.940
This is incredible!
21
00:01:12.840 --> 00:01:14.940
The sound of the birds
22
00:01:15.680 --> 00:01:16.380
the chirping (frogs and toads, grasshoppers and many more animals
and insects)
23
00:01:17.060 --> 00:01:19.460
And just the sound of of my foot.
24
00:01:20.860 --> 00:01:24.560
Walking on on the Leafs. They look just great.
25
00:01:25.460 --> 00:01:32.660
time is of the coronavirus in general I notice how quiet it got
without the airplane noises and so on
26
00:01:33.580 --> 00:01:40.380
so often times when I go for a walk I put my noise canceling
headphones on and it's a Pity it. Really
27
00:01:41.100 --> 00:01:44.200
Why don't you just listen to your surroundings?
28
00:01:44.680 --> 00:01:45.380
...of the nature...
29
00:01:45.940 --> 00:01:46.840
Go to the forest.
30
00:01:47.460 --> 00:01:50.760
Recharge your batteries to regain your energy.
31
00:01:51.820 --> 00:01:54.820
And it's even more important in the age of the internet.
32
00:01:55.560 --> 00:01:59.360
I mean I find myself watching all these YouTube videos.
33
00:02:00.580 --> 00:02:03.980
And when I finished I don't even remember.
34
00:02:04.640 --> 00:02:05.840
the first video so
35
00:02:06.780 --> 00:02:09.480
The question is, how can I learn from?
36
00:02:10.240 --> 00:02:10.540
all...
37
00:02:11.140 --> 00:02:12.640
from all of this information
38
00:02:13.720 --> 00:02:16.020
It's no good for me. I can see that. (It's not good for my
health.)
39
00:02:16.520 --> 00:02:18.620
I'm not focused anymore. So..
40
00:02:19.220 --> 00:02:21.720
...I want you to make aware of the importance of being...
41
00:02:22.200 --> 00:02:28.000
...balanced and (not to be) rushing into things especially when it
comes to learning languages.
42
00:02:28.520 --> 00:02:31.820
I mean all these promises out there in the internet.
43
00:02:32.140 --> 00:02:35.740
learning English in 3 months or in 1 month or
44
00:02:36.420 --> 00:02:37.020
in a year
45
00:02:38.320 --> 00:02:41.020
Why do we need to learn in such a short period of time? (Better: in
such a rush)
46
00:02:41.720 --> 00:02:42.520
cured of time
47
00:02:42.720 --> 00:02:44.920
normally it is not necessary so (under normal circumstances)
48
00:02:45.460 --> 00:02:47.160
I try to not.
49
00:02:47.640 --> 00:02:51.140
Get overwhelmed by charging too much pressure...
50
00:02:51.520 --> 00:02:51.920
on myself. (Sorry, this sentence is probably useless - I'm stilly
learning)
51
00:02:52.640 --> 00:02:54.740
If you are balanced you will also be able to..
52
00:02:55.280 --> 00:03:02.674
...learn better. I'm not saying I'm the most balanced person, but
I'm working on getting closer to that goal. I have set
53
00:03:02.737 --> 00:03:03.180
myself.
54
00:03:03.700 --> 00:03:05.700
All right. Let's go back to the forest.
55
00:03:06.260 --> 00:03:15.060
Why don't you go to the forest or another place which is quiet and
maybe bring your sticky notes or flashcards with you.
56
00:03:15.400 --> 00:03:19.000
And then just sit on the bench or on the stone.
57
00:03:19.680 --> 00:03:22.480
and learn the English vocabulary
58
00:03:23.480 --> 00:03:25.480
and just take a breath and
59
00:03:26.120 --> 00:03:27.020
Take your time.
60
00:03:28.000 --> 00:03:28.500
because
61
00:03:29.000 --> 00:03:32.600
Life has become too too fast too quick. So
62
00:03:33.220 --> 00:03:34.820
time to time we should just
63
00:03:35.400 --> 00:03:36.200
slow down
64
00:03:37.340 --> 00:03:38.140
relax
65
00:03:38.540 --> 00:03:39.340
just
66
00:03:39.760 --> 00:03:40.560
Focus
67
00:03:40.980 --> 00:03:43.980
Trying to do to become a more focused person.
68
00:03:44.780 --> 00:03:49.180
the thing is I strongly believe if you are balanced if you
69
00:03:49.860 --> 00:03:56.560
If you're balanced, you'll be able to be more focused and
subsequently you will reach your goal earlier.
70
00:03:57.000 --> 00:03:58.800
So this just a tip. (in the sense: this is meant to be an
advice)
71
00:03:59.500 --> 00:04:00.700
Self-awareness tip...
72
00:04:01.700 --> 00:04:02.600
from me and
73
00:04:05.720 --> 00:04:07.820
you will think about this and
74
00:04:08.880 --> 00:04:09.780
Thanks for tuning in.
75
00:04:11.000 --> 00:04:12.500
