Newton’s Law of Universal Gravitation states that: Every mass attracts every other mass in the universe with a force that is proportional to the product of their masses, and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. Let’s break this down in a way that applies to language acquisition. Imagine that: • One “mass” is you, the learner. • The other “mass” is the language you are trying to learn. • The “force” is the attraction or motivation pulling you toward fluency. • The “distance” is how far you currently are from using the language fluently and comfortably. This is Episode 64, and today, we’re diving deep—both scientifically and metaphorically—into how Newton’s Law of Universal Gravitation can teach us a surprising amount about language learning.
