086: How to study during a busy period


Listen Later

Isabelle asks: "I'm about to enter a very busy period of final exams. How can I keep up my Mandarin during this period?"

In this episode:
  • The good thing about having a finite period of "busyness"
  • The less pressure the better - results in more learning
  • I suggest picking ONE thing, and doing only that during the whole busy period
  • This could be: have two speaking sessions a week, watch one episode of a TV drama every evening, learn 5 new Chinese characters every morning
  • Resources Featured In Today's Episode:
    • Study Hacks for Busy People - my collection of resources for learning languages under pressure!
    • Triumph in the Skies - my favourite Hong Kong TV series
