In this episode we are using a quote from the philosopher Lao Tzu to have a short discussion on the acquisition of knowledge. These discussions are designed to bring us closer and explore the ideas and thoughts that might help us on our language learning journey.

Philosophical Friday

Lao Tzu

In this episode we will look at the comparisons between learning a language and creating art. We look at the threshold between learning and creating in the privacy of our own mind and sharing our work with the public and how that relates to moving from static learning to active conversation.

This week I will be focussing on New Year’s traditions.
By the time you listen to this podcast, the new year will be behind you. How did you celebrate the solar new year? Join me in this brief foray into the new year’s traditions we celebrate in our home.

New Year’s episode of Philosophical Friday

Join in while I share with you some interesting ways of accessing language learning without pressure. I will also share some New Year’s rituals in our family that tie in with this same kind of physical approach to language learning that could also be seen as something of a philosophy.
