In today’s episode, I explore how the heart chakra—Anahata—guides us in language learning and healing. The heart chakra, glowing green and resonating with the sound YAM, supports compassion, balance, and authentic expression. Science shows that activating the vagus nerve lowers stress, regulates heart rate, and improves memory recall. When we engage with vocabulary, grammar, reading, writing, speaking, and listening, we not only strengthen our fluency but also nurture our heart. Vocabulary connects to emotional memory, grammar creates balance, reading calms through breath, writing heals stress, speaking vibrates through the chest, and listening fosters compassion. Different languages such as Malay, English, Chinese, French, Dutch, and Italian resonate with the heart chakra in unique ways, from soothing rhythm to expressive melody. By studying through the heart, we don’t just learn words—we cultivate love, resilience, and healing in both body and soul.

みなさん、お久しぶりです。こんにちは。


私は去年ドイツからベルギーのブリュッセルに引っ越しました。ベルギーはヨーロッパの中心にあり、とても小さい国ですが公用語が３つあります。ドイツ語とフランス語とオランダ語です。ブリュッセルにはフランス語を話す人が多いです。英語を話せる人もたくさんいます。そして、ブリュッセルには日本人がたくさんいるので、日本の食べ物を簡単に買うことができます。これは私にとってうれしいことです。もう一つブリュッセルに住んでいてうれしいことはパンやケーキがとてもおいしいことです。ドイツのパンやケーキも好きですが、わたしはベルギーのパンやケーキのほうがもっと好きです。皆さんはブリュッセルに来たことがありますか？よかったら私のレッスンに来てブリュッセルについて教えてください。ではまた次のエピソードでお会いしましょう。さようなら。


Nihongo Short Story by Noriko

ブリュッセルに引っ越しました（I moved to Brussels）

Many of us know that learning a second language isn't easy — it takes a lot of time and practice. It can be very rewarding, but also very frustrating, so many people might not even think about trying to learn a third language.

But it may not be as difficult as you think.

In fact, many polyglots — that is, people who speak many languages — say that learning a third language is actually easier than learning the second.

But why?

One reason could be that, when learning a third language, you have a better understanding of different language structures.

When we learn our first language, as children, we don't really learn how the language works — we just naturally start using it.

But when you learn a second language, you start getting used to language structures, including ones that might be different from your first language. In some languages, for example, nouns are often either masculine or feminine — while in English, there's no such difference.

Learning these things in our second language often makes it easier for our brains to recognize different structures like this in other languages.

When you learn a second language, you also develop different skills, like memorization techniques. These skills can then be used when learning your third language, making the process faster and more efficient.

Finally, learning your second language might have felt scary at first, but you did it! This may give you more confidence when learning your third language, because you have more of an idea of what to expect.

If you'd like to learn a third language, it might be helpful to choose one that's part of the same language family as one of your other languages, because the similarities could make the process a lot easier.

Why Learning a Third Language Is Easier than a Second

Podcast by American English tutor Carl. Improve your spoken English and book a lesson with me: https://teach.italki.com/teacher/1947582
Welcome back to another episode of Streetwise English podcast. I'm your host, Carl. Today I want to talk to you about note taking and note taking apps. So in the course of learning a language or living your life in general, you have to take notes. Notes, help you organize your thoughts and help you remember things and help you learn things.

So note taking is very important. I like to use several apps to take notes. I've experimented with different apps over the years, but today I want to talk about my favorite apps for taking notes. I will list them in the order that I use them. So I use Google Keep most. Google Keep is part of the Google suite of apps, and the advantage of Google Keep is that I can take notes on my iPad and they will show up on my computer and also on my phone.

And all of these apps that I'm going to talk about allow you to write with a digital pen, which is important for me. Why? Because I like to write down my notes with handwriting. And when you're learning things like Chinese, you need to write the characters by hand instead of typing them. And any language actually that you're learning, it helps to handwrite the vocabulary or words, because then you're more likely to remember them.
I've read that somewhere. So Google Keep is a great option because it allows you to view your notes on multiple devices because it's saved online. And then also because you can add lines, paper and grids, and you can handwrite in Google Keep. And I use Google Keep every day. And you can also connect Google Keep to other things like Google Calendar and things like that.
