Wanna know how and why to learn a foreign language? First of all, it’s enormous fun! Learning to express and experience yourself and the world through a new language connects you with others and even yourself in a whole new way. Much like getting tipsy for the first time, this is something you won’t truly understand until you try it for yourself. Acquiring a language also sharpens your mind and expands your imagination, your ability to see things; even through the lens of your own native language, which you’ll now see in a different light. Beyond this, a language is a vessel for and an expression of a unique human culture, a way of being and thinking about what is and what ought to be; so by learning to use a language you are connecting to and embodying an ancient stream of living tradition which can transform your outlook and identity. On top of going through the practical side of what you can do to learn a new language as quickly and easily as possible, I’ll also give you a few tips for how to get out of your own way and feel confident using your new language to interact with others without getting anxious, disheartened or embarrassed. It doesn’t matter if we reach full fluency or not; word by willing word, the magic happens.
