*”The Cult of Learning” are episodes for learners of languages. These episodes will discuss tools and strategies for learning and provide opportunities for effective listening practice. These episodes are also part of our Self-directed Learning Portal, which helps thousands of people around the world improve the English skills important to them.
Leo and Mike bring you a brand new mini-series called "The Three Essentials of Language Learning." We will talk about what really helps folks out there learn a language - do you need a teacher? Do you need to be motivated? Should you listen to a lot of podcasts in the language you are trying to learn? What are the three essentials of learning a foreign language? The answer to these questions you will find in this new series of the Cult of Learning podcast.
In Part 1, they tackle the "first essential": exposure. When learning a foreign language, it is important to develop habits, but also to create an effective learning environment - not only inside the classroom but outside the classroom.
This episode will help you do that, and, specifically, they discuss:
- what exposure is and isn't
- how learners can expose themselves to language
- what kind of reading or listening you should do if you're a student
- is "less is more" or "more is more" more appropriate?
If you are a learning a language, these episodes are for you!
