In Zen, the act of sitting down and doing nothing isn’t about idleness. It’s about allowing the mind to rest and reset. When you stop forcing progress, you invite understanding to emerge naturally. This stillness isn’t passive—it’s active receptivity.

In language learning, this means stepping back from constant effort to allow the language to settle into your subconscious. Play a podcast in your target language without trying to grasp every word. Let the rhythm of the language flow through you. Over time, your brain will pick up patterns and nuances effortlessly.

Research supports this approach: studies on the brain’s default mode network (DMN) show that periods of quiet reflection are crucial for consolidating memories and integrating information. In short, doing nothing allows your brain to do its most creative and productive work.

Recuerdo que hace unos siete u ocho años en clase con una estudiante estadounidense, esta me hablaba de la gentrificación en Estados Unidos y para mí resultaba un concepto muy ajeno a mi realidad. Hoy en día, he vivido de primera mano esa situación, por ejemplo, desde dónde grabo este episodio, en Medellín Colombia, tuvimos la experiencia en carne propia y los efectos del tema de hoy. Conozcamos más de la gentrificación en América Latina.

Episodio #6. La Comida Mexicana Picante

Сегодня у нас в программе отрывок из романа Михаила Юрьевича Лермонтова “Герой нашего времени”. Прекрасный текст о взаимопонимании людей.

Как и раньше, я читаю отрывок дважды. В первый раз медленно, по несколько слов, но обязательно ставьте эпизод на паузу, чтобы всё успеть. Второй раз читаю быстрее, чтобы вы проверили, всё ли правильно записали. Будет много знаков препинания, которые я вам тоже буду проговаривать: точка (.), запятая (,), тире (-), двоеточие (:), точка с запятой (;), многоточие (...)

Отправьте мне сообщение со словами “седьмой диктант готов” и я пришлю вам текст для проверки. 

Пишите грамотно, говорите свободно! Хорошего вам дня, друзья!
