TASK 40 - BEAUTY AND ART

In Zen, the act of sitting down and doing nothing isn’t about idleness. It’s about allowing the mind to rest and reset. When you stop forcing progress, you invite understanding to emerge naturally. This stillness isn’t passive—it’s active receptivity.

In language learning, this means stepping back from constant effort to allow the language to settle into your subconscious. Play a podcast in your target language without trying to grasp every word. Let the rhythm of the language flow through you. Over time, your brain will pick up patterns and nuances effortlessly.

Research supports this approach: studies on the brain’s default mode network (DMN) show that periods of quiet reflection are crucial for consolidating memories and integrating information. In short, doing nothing allows your brain to do its most creative and productive work.

We will also talk about genealogy, peoples’ origins, music with Stromae, literature with Marcel Proust, and philosophy with Daniel Dennett. And we will review the vocabulary for senses and emotions, we will practise the gerund and much more.
