In this episode of the podcast, we talk about journaling and how to use it to help you with your language studies.
Want to keep learning with us? Join Language Conqueror.
In This Lesson, You Learned:
That language journaling can look many different ways. Here are two methods I use:
I journal in the languages to practice them. I journal about my language learning to assess what I've done, what I'm struggling with and what I want to get to next.Featured Trade Secret:
Having trouble getting into the habit of journaling? Start by writing even just one sentence a day. Or, you can journal in other ways. For example, my daily journal is more about personal stats — my workout routine, if I studied my languages, and whether or not I've done other things related to the habits I'm trying to build. This check-in can be done in my target language! Get creative with how you journal.

In this episode of the podcast, we talk about mnemonics and how to use them to help you with your language studies.
Want to keep learning with us? Join Language Conqueror.
In This Lesson, You Learned:
Five of types of mnemonics you can use:
Acronym mnemonics: you might have learned ROYGBIV in school to memorize the colors of the rainbow, this is a great example of a spelling mnemonic.
Spelling mnemonics: this is when you create sentence to help you remember how to spell a word. For example: merci in French, this could be my energetic rabbit chews ice. It's best if you create these yourself to make them more memorable.
Order mnemonics: this is to help remember the order of something, like the planets or the notes of a music scale. "Every good boy deserves fun" is often used to help students remember the notes on the staff lines.
Rhyme mnemonics: An example of this is: thirty days have September, April, June and November...
Visual mnemonics: This is when you use a visual aid as a way to recall information and it's a very popular method used for language learning specifically.
Featured Trade Secret:
Try Drops! It uses visual mnemonics to help you memorize new vocabulary. It's one of my favorite tools because it's beautiful, fun, and there are tons of well-curated word lists available to you.

In this episode of the podcast, we talk about the power of play and how to learn like kids to boost your language learning.
Want to keep learning with us? Join Language Conqueror.
In This Lesson, You Learned:
As a parent, I've had firsthand experience seeing how kids learn languages. And I've been involved in supporting my children becoming multilingual.
One of the best strategies I've both observed and tried personally is that of play.
Play isn't all just fun and games. In fact, it's an effect way to learn, explore, process, and start to grasp new things — including language.
Are you playing in your language?
If not, it's something you should aim to implement.
Think about ways you enjoy playing in your native language — whether it's board games, mobile games, video games or something else. Try doing a bit of it in your target language.
Play is engaging, it's explorative, and it's fun. And it's so much more than that. All of this makes it an incredible learning tool.
Featured Trade Secret:
It's often said that kids are better language learners than adults.
I don't agree.
As adults, there are a lot of external influences and internal influences that "block" us from learning languages like children.
The first is that kids don't yet see mistakes as a "big deal". As adults, mistakes are terrifying. We have a greater awareness of ourselves and what we think other people think about us.
The other way kids are better language learners than us is that they have more free time. As adults, we have jobs, bills, hobbies, responsibilities, and other things that require our time. Kids have a lot more free time and don't feel the time pressures we feel as adults.
By rethinking how you handle mistakes and time restrictions, you can liberate many of the mental barriers you build up around language learning.

Featured Trade Secret:
When you first start learning a new language, especially one like German, pronunciation is key to being understood and understanding others. A great way to start grasping this is to increase your listening in the language. Can you find a German show, movie, music, or podcast to listen to? Even a German YouTuber you follow can work wonders! The more you listen, the better you'll be able to speak and understand the cadence of the language. Thankfully, German has fairly consistent pronunciation, so once you get the basics, you'll be ready to go!

In this episode of the podcast, we talk about exercise and how it relates to language learning — both in combining it and using it as a general lifestyle choice.
Want to keep learning with us? Join Language Conqueror.
In This Lesson, You Learned:
Shannon's perspective on fitness and a few practices you can try out:
Listen to a foreign language podcast while working out Listen to foreign language music to get pumped for my exercise Listen to a foreign language podcast while on a walk Complete language lessons with an app like Duolingo or Drops while on the elliptical or stationary bike Watch a foreign language tv show while on the elliptical or stationary bike Take an exercise lesson in a foreign language (even if it's watching a youtube video lesson) Count reps, points, sets, etc. in your target language for a bit of number practice.Featured Trade Secret:
You use similar parts of your brain when you learn as when you move and so combining the two has a good chance of improving neural connections.
So even if sport or fitness aren't your thing, try adding some sort of physical motion or movement to your language learning to one of your study sessions this week. It can be doing a walk around the room as you listen to a podcast, or one squat between each prompt/question on Duolingo.
However you want to go about it is up to you.

In this episode of the podcast, we talk about Korean numbers. You'll learn how count in Korean in this week's snack-sized lesson.
Want to keep learning with us? Join Language Conqueror.
In This Lesson, You Learned:
One: 일, il Two: 이, i Three: 삼, sam Four: 사, sa Five: 오, o Six: 육, yuk Seven: 칠, chil Eight: 팔, pal Nine: 구, gu Ten: 십, sipThese numbers can be stacked together to create bigger numbers. So eleven if just 10 + 1: sibil. 12, sibi, and so on. When you get to 20, it becomes 2 + 10: isip. All the way up to 100 which is 백, baek.
Featured Trade Secret:
Since Korean has two number systems, it can sometimes be confusing to know when you should use the numbers we learned today. But an easy thing to remember is that these numbers, the Sino-Korean numbers, are used for all bigger numbers past 100. That's because the other number system, the Native Korean numbers, only go up to 100. And you can use the numbers we learned today to talk about most things except age and hours of the clock.

In this episode of the podcast, we talk about mindfulness in language learning and how to slow down.
Want to keep learning with us? Join Language Conqueror.
In This Lesson, You Learned:
Shannon's perspective on mindfulness and a few practices you can try out:
Journaling in your language Doing yoga by watching videos in your language Meditation Follow a recipe Remove distractions ReadFeatured Trade Secret:
There's a technique called grounding that I really love. It's where you focus on doing something to relieve anxiety or stress and bring your mind back to the present moment. It's often about focusing on your senses and the action you're doing. For example, counting your breathes, noticing how the air is cooler coming in than out, how the ground feels under your feet, etc. You can also do this with movement: noticing how your body feels as you stretch, focusing on one specific part of the body, and so on.
Why does this matter? Because if you approach language learning with stress, anxiety and a cluttered mind, it's hard to focus and absorb what you learn. Practicing mindfulness before you start learning will help your mind ease into it and remember things more efficiently.

SK: One in Chinese - 一 yī

Three - 三 sān
Four - 四 sì
Five - 五 wǔ
Six - 六 liù
Seven - 七 qī
Eight - 八 bā
Nine - 九 jiǔ
Ten - 十 shí
Featured Trade Secret:
So one of the things I like to do to practice numbers is do all my counting in the language I'm learning. For example, if I'm working out, I count my reps in the language. If I'm working on a recipe, I count the measurements in the language. If I'm walking up the stairs, I count the steps! You get the picture! As you do countable things this week, do your counting in your language. It will reinforce your counting and numbers!

And while both ways are used depending on the word, it's more common to use yon, nana, and kyuu. Why? Because of Japanese superstitions! The word shi can also be the word for "death" (死), and ku is the reading for the kanji character for "suffering" (苦). Because of this, 4 is an unlucky number, and the readings shichi and ku are slightly less common.

One hack I used to memorize numbers is... I counted down with my microwave when cooking food. This helped me practice larger numbers, and also get out of the habit of memorizing numbers by order. It's easy to remember 1, 2, 3, etc., when you're used to the order they come in. But can you easily recall the number 12 without counting up to it? Counting backwards is great practice to break that habit and get used to the numbers.
