My warmest welcome to you. You are listening to episode 3 of the 111 Tips for Learning a Language. From Episode 1, we identified our most comfortable way of learning. From Episode 2, we zoomed in on mastering one aspect of the language. In this episode, I am going to ask you to determine:-
(1)	When you would like to learn; and 
(2)	Where you would like to learn; and lastly
(3)	How much time you would like to spend learning. 

Once you have clear answers about the when, where and how much time you have, you should be able to set a regular routine for learning. As we know, a routine is repetitive, therefore we would gradually become accustomed to sticking to it. It is just like brushing our teeth every morning. The goal is to make our learning schedule a habit. Once it becomes a habit, you would not think twice about straying away from it.  

It is advisable though to set a short, easy routine initially. This is so that you would not find it too difficult to keep up with. When you first start following your schedule the first few times, you are actually training yourself to become more disciplined. With discipline comes habit.  
Research has shown that humans are creatures of habit. Once your schedule is set, you are ready to go! When learning is a habit, you are consistently making progress in learning the language of your choice. Our podcast has now come to an end. I wish you Inspired Learning and till our next episode.

In questo episodio vedremo la storia dell'università di Bologna che è considerata l'università più antica dell'Europa. Ancora oggi Bologna è una città piena di vita e di studenti dove l'università ha un ruolo molto importante.

Testo: 

L’università di Bologna è la più antica università del mondo. Ha quasi 1000 anni. Nasce infatti nel 1088.  Dopo l'università di Bologna, nel 1096 nasce l'università di Oxford nel Regno Unito e nel 1170 l'università di Parigi in Francia. Da quel momento in poi l’università ha un grande sviluppo soprattutto in Italia e Bologna diventa un modello per tutte. A Bologna all'inizio sono gli studenti a scegliere e a pagare i maestri più prestigiosi1, che a volte vengono anche da città lontane. Di conseguenza solo i ragazzi più ricchi possono studiare. I maestri più stimati guadagnano tanto e possono diventare molto famosi.  Gli studenti sono solo maschi, perché a quel tempo le donne non possono studiare, arrivano a Bologna anche da lontano e cercano alloggio, cibo e divertimenti per il loro tempo libero. Grazie alla presenza della sua università, Bologna diventa il centro più importante dell’Emilia Romagna e passa alla storia come “Bologna la Dotta”, che vuol dire la sapiente. All'università le lezioni sono in latino, perché nel Medioevo il latino è la lingua della cultura....
