Hi everyone and welcome to another clip by us, the Superpolyglotbros.
I'm Matthew, and I'm Michael.
And today we're going to talk about places
where we can learn languages.
That's right. Now some of you might be thinking
about more conventional places such as community colleges
or schools or university where we can learn a language.
In this clip however we'd like to present you
with five more obscure places where we can learn.
Place number five - In bed.
Now this is the part of the house
which we use mainly to rest
and let our brain wind down and relax
so why not use it to learn a new language?
It's a great and comfy place to go over some vocabulary we've just learned,
read a newspaper on our phone or laptop
or read a bilingual novel
just before going to bed.
In fact, studies have shown that
sleeping just after learning new material
is beneficial for recalling and retaining information
so the next time you pop off to the Land of Nod,
why not take some literature with you for your journey?
Place number four - In the bus, train or on a plane.
Now this might come as a bit of a surprise
because it's probably the last place you'd think of
as a place to learn:
it's noisy, it's packed with people and very uncomfortable.
But we can use this time whilst going to school
or whilst going to work
in a very productive way
that will help us improve our language skills
Is your seat neighbour constantly on the phone?
Well, why not whip your phone out as well and
listen to some music in the language
and why not read the lyrics on your phone as well?
Or how about jumping on a quick Skype call for conversation practice?
Or what about a podcast to improve your pronunciation?
Or how about a game you can play in the language?
The opportunities here are endless
and help that endless journey go by in no time at all.
Place number three - In the bathroom.
Strange place to use a language you'd say
but it actually offers some great opportunities.
If you've been learning vocabulary
why not write the words down on sticky notes?
And stick them around the bathroom
and especially around the mirror
so when it comes to brushing your teeth in the morning and evening
you'll have tons of words, phrases and grammar to be learning
while you're getting your pearly whites sparkling.
So after you've spent two to three minutes brushing your teeth,
why not spend a further two to three minutes
practising the language in front of a mirror?
Have a conversation with yourself in the language
just like you would do with a speaking partner.
It's a great exercise to see how your mouth, face and body move
and it's a great way to help improve your pronunciation.
Place number two - Your living room.
Yes, you heard it. That's right.
It's time to sit back and relax in the comfort of your very own living room.
Turn the TV on and watch your favourite series
or a film with subtitles in your own language.
If you're feeling lucky or a little bit daring however
you can watch the same series or film
this time in a different language
and with subtitles in another language.
Alternatively, rock it out in another language.
Swap your usual radio station
for another one in another part of the continent
or even another part of the world.
By having the radio on in the background
you'll be passively taking in new phrases, words and expressions.
Language learning isn't always about
actively learning and acquiring
vocabulary and grammar.
A lot of what we learn is actually through passive acquisition.
And who knows? Maybe you'll discover your next favourite band along the way.
Place number one - With a local in your local!
Head on down to your local Italian, Greek
German, Spanish, Turkish, Armenian
Kazakh, Ethiopian, Chinese, Korean, Thai,
Indian, Japanese, Vietnamese, Portuguese, Argentinian
Samoan, South African, Moroccan, Canadian...
From a restaurant to your local grocery store,
from reading the menu in the language to actually ordering in the language,
or maybe just looking for products in the language,
there are so many ways you can use a language
without having to travel that far.
Do you have a favourite place for learning?
If so, let us know in the comments below.
We'll be back with another clip soon
so until then, it's
"tara for now"
