Want to know more about the benefits of training your language skills outside?

There is a growing body of research which supports the benefits of learning while moving in nature. And this is very much true for learning a language.

Spending time in a natural environment regulates our nervous system: our cortisol levels are reduced and dopamine levels are boosted. The result is that communication, motivation, memory function, creativity, attention and focus all improve. The result is that we can understand more, say more and remember more.

An added advantage (compared with traditional classroom learning) is that by walking side-by-side, shoulder-to-shoulder the pressure of performance in face-to-face communication is off, allowing for more natural pauses and thinking/processing time, which is so important when learning a language.

I’m really looking forward to meeting and talking with you and helping you on your language journey!
