Historias

Mi Familia

In this episode we will look at the comparisons between learning a language and creating art. We look at the threshold between learning and creating in the privacy of our own mind and sharing our work with the public and how that relates to moving from static learning to active conversation.

Philosophical Friday

Philosophical Friday with a quote from Stephen King

This week I will be focussing on New Year’s traditions.
By the time you listen to this podcast, the new year will be behind you. How did you celebrate the solar new year? Join me in this brief foray into the new year’s traditions we celebrate in our home.

New Year’s episode of Philosophical Friday

Join in while I share with you some interesting ways of accessing language learning without pressure. I will also share some New Year’s rituals in our family that tie in with this same kind of physical approach to language learning that could also be seen as something of a philosophy.

Foundations of Learning

Have you ever wondered what different kinds of celebrations are celebrated at the end of the year in different cultures? In honour of our German heritage we celebrate Heilig Abend and new this year, the Rauhnächte. In honour of our North American heritage we celebrate Christmas. And in the tradition of a Celtic past we celebrate the Feast of Lights at Winter Solstice.

Holiday Special. Today I’d like to share with you some end-of-year traditions we celebrate in our home which is a mixture of three cultures.

In this episode we are using a quote from modern day rapper, author and philosopher Robert Gwisdek from his fictional tale, The Invisible Apple, and in German, Der Unsichtbare Apfel. In this episode we are exploring the dilemma of seeking guidance or trusting one’s intuition.
