In this episode of NeuroResiliency, Justin delves into the topic of mastering language learning. He highlights the significant connection between languages and his coaching work, emphasizing the need to address the problems in language education today. From personal experience as a language teacher, starting with the audio-lingual method that treated learners like parrots, devoid of understanding and curiosity to sharing his journey of obtaining qualifications, diplomas, and a master's degree, working in the top language school in the UK, he reveals the underlying incentives in the language learning industry, focusing more on profit and customer experience than actual language improvement. Justin emphasizes the importance of understanding how the brain learns and introduces the concept of the social brain hypothesis. He advocates for learning socially useful situational phrases and dialogues, visualizing oneself in the language's 3D space, and automating phrases through repetition and exploration. The host suggests a weekly routine of listening, reading, speaking, writing, translating, and collecting phrases to activate various aspects of the brain and enhance language learning. He cautions against relying solely on language learning apps and encourage personal interaction and engagement with the language.
