Newton’s Law of Universal Gravitation states that: Every mass attracts every other mass in the universe with a force that is proportional to the product of their masses, and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. Let’s break this down in a way that applies to language acquisition. Imagine that: • One “mass” is you, the learner. • The other “mass” is the language you are trying to learn. • The “force” is the attraction or motivation pulling you toward fluency. • The “distance” is how far you currently are from using the language fluently and comfortably. This is Episode 64, and today, we’re diving deep—both scientifically and metaphorically—into how Newton’s Law of Universal Gravitation can teach us a surprising amount about language learning.

Could you check my text please? Early morning workout. Today I first time in my life went to gym in the early morning before work. I had different expectations of that. On the one hand many people says that they feel so good and productive all day afterwards. On the other hand for other people it’s too challenging, since they feel weaker that usual during the workout and can’t lift same weights in the morning. So, what about my experience? I woke up at 6 am, had some coffee, went to the gym and started the training at 7.20 am. The weights I took were pretty much the same as I typically do, especially when it came to leg exercises. With upper body exercises I was a bit less capable than usual though. The time after training and probably until a lunch break I hadn’t felt perfect. I’m not sure why, but it was so difficult for me to focus on something and force the brain working. It got better afternoon though. What else I noticed is that all day I’d had a constant appetite, apparently the workout sped up my metabolism. Given that, it definitely has some pros and cons. But what I liked the most is how empty the gym was. At the begining of the session I was alone, then one woman joined me. I have nothing against people, but it was cool to be alone in the whole hall. Thank you!

My traditional food from my area is soto ayam
