Learn French: Joyeux Noël! (Merry Christmas)

In today’s episode, I wanted to speak to your heart—and your senses.

I want to encourage you to engage all five of your senses in your language learning journey. You see, language doesn’t just live in your brain—it dances through your fingertips, your eyes, your ears, even your nose and tastebuds. That’s right. When you involve multiple senses, you’re actually building stronger, deeper neural pathways that help memory stick.

Science tells us this works. Multisensory learning, especially when involving touch and movement, boosts retention and comprehension. When you touch flashcards, hear new words aloud, write them out by hand, or associate a scent or taste with a new phrase—you’re telling your brain, “This matters.”

And it does matter. You matter. Your learning journey is sacred.

So today, I reminded you to slow down, to savor the process. Whether it’s the sound of a foreign lullaby or the warmth of a dish from another culture, let your senses be your gentle guides. Let your whole body learn. And remember—there’s no right way to do it. There’s only your way, done with intention, done with love.

Until next time, I’m here cheering for you, every step and every sense of the way. 🌿

大家好，我是Yuli。欢迎收听我的播客。
今天是9月29号，农历八月十五号中秋节。今年中秋节和国庆节离得很近，所以今天开始全国放8天假。因为出行的人很多，塞车很严重。即使要花十几个小时甚至更长的时间才能回到家，还是有千千万万的人选择回家过中秋节。为什么中秋节对中国人来说这么重要呢？
中秋节对于中国人来说，最大的意义就是团圆。从唐朝开始，人们就把天上的月圆和人间的团圆联系在一起了。离家在外的人举头望月，思念的是故乡和亲友。中国人重视亲情，阖家团圆便是最好的期盼。每逢中秋来临，中国960万平方公里的大地上，便有无数人奔走起来。他们有个共同的目标，回家。
回家路千千万万，有的回家路横穿中国，从上海到喀什，跨越三个时区，行程一万里。有的回家路沿着城市和乡村，用草原河流呼唤漂泊的游子。有的回家路随大海延伸，中国3.2万公里的海岸线，是对出海人平安回家的等待。有的回家路则是从四面八方，天南海北聚在一起，把他乡变成故乡。
虽然今天人们可以隔着屏幕相连，但与家人的相见，永远是心灵深处的渴望。同一屋檐下共赏明月，幸福平淡也绵长。
月亮，为什么大家都喜欢你？这个中秋，你回家了吗？中秋节快乐。让我们回家追月吧。
