1 thought on “The Unconscious Mind Is Wonderfully Set Up”
10,000 hours is a tall order: that’s 3 hours every day for 10 years. I think conscious and unconscious partnership delivers useful results more quickly. But who cares?
What matters is where we all agree: if you wanna learn a language, you need massive glutton diet of input where b) you understand it and a) you like it.
How to get that Input? How to get it into the unconscious mind, deep into the deep feeling believer and decider? Listen to songs, repeatedly. Repeatedly, even if just in the background. Listen as much as you can. Why?
* you need to be liking what you hear
* you need to “tune in” to the frequency of the new sounds
* you need to dance
* you need to get other stuff done, ie cleaning, travel etc
* you need 10,000 hours of practice understanding
<LI)* you need to understand the stories of the heart
* you need stuff to talk about with native speakers
* you need to “think in the language” someday
* you need to feel it *way* first
So A) tune into the sounds, B) know what they say, feel what they feel, C) talk about it with someone who cares (in L2 doh). OK 2 cents done.
