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
