Episode 8: Sports Around the World

Welkom bij aflevering twee van de podcast Beter Gezegd. In de aflevering van vandaag staat het woord ‘bezienswaardigheden’ centraal. Wat is de definitie van bezienswaardigheden? Het woord is een samenstelling van ‘zien’ en ‘waardig’. Waardig betekent dat iets de moeite waard is. Iets is zinvol. Een bezienswaardigheid is dus een locatie, bijvoorbeeld een monument, een gebouw of natuur dat vaak door toeristen wordt bezocht. Beter gezegd, bezienswaardigheden zijn meestal plekken die een land of een stad bekend maken. In Frankrijk is dat bijvoorbeeld de Eiffeltoren, in Engeland is dat de Big Ben en in België is dat.. Manneken Pis!

But what if I told you that deliberately choosing to study in ways you don’t like could actually skyrocket your learning? Yes, you heard that right. Let’s dig into this, shall we?

Instead of saying “I hate this method of studying. It’s so difficult, boring or whatever negative word that comes to mind”, say instead and normalize the inner dialogue within you to gradually be “I am open to a different study technique once in a while.”
