greetings in Greek

별짓

어제 사서 감추어가지고 온 귀걸이를 아침에 내밀었다
아이 뭘
쫑알대며 받아서 걸어보는 너의 귀가 조그만 나비처럼 예뻤다

점심때 함께 식사하고 나오며 네 신발을 가지런히 돌려주었다
아이 뭘
신을 신는 너의 두 발이 꼭 포유동물의 눈 못 뜬 새끼들처럼 귀여웠다

오후에 가게에서 소프트아이스크림을 사들고 뛰어와 너에게 주었다
아이 뭘
아이스크림을 베어 무는 너의 입술이 하늘붕어처럼 사랑스러웠다

아이 뭘...
내가 별짓을 다한다.

What does confronting death, freedom, and the meaning of life have to do with learning Spanish? 🧠💀

Everything.

Most language advice focuses on the how. But what about the why that lies beneath it all?

In Episode 104 of 111 Tips for Learning a Language, we dive deep into Existential Therapy to explore how facing life's biggest questions can unlock your most powerful learning potential. Discover how to:

• 🗽 Embrace the freedom and responsibility of being the author of your language journey
• 🌉 Use language to bridge our fundamental human isolation and achieve real connection
• 🎨 Create meaning out of arbitrary grammar and vocabulary, making your practice profoundly personal
• ⏳ Harness the awareness of your finite time to fuel a powerful, productive urgency

This isn't just about learning to speak. It's about learning to live more fully through your target language.

We explore how the principles of Existential Therapy can transform language learning from a mere academic task into a profound journey of personal growth. By confronting life's core "givens"—freedom, isolation, meaninglessness, and mortality—this episode reveals how you can harness existential anxiety to fuel your progress. Learn how to take radical responsibility for your learning, find deep connection through communication, create personal meaning, and leverage the urgency of your finite time to become a more authentic and courageous speaker.
