In Episode 86, you learn how positive emotions can supercharge your language learning. Each feeling—happiness, calm, peace, satisfaction, pride, excitement, love, and ambition—supports different parts of language study. You discover that happiness boosts vocabulary and creativity, calm strengthens grammar accuracy, peace improves pronunciation and listening, satisfaction locks in memorization, pride fuels speaking confidence, excitement speeds vocabulary recall, love reduces anxiety for speaking, and ambition sharpens goal-based tasks. You are guided to match each emotion to the right skill and to use short rituals to spark the state before practice.

MARK: Excuse me. Could you tell me where the library is?
NANCY: Yes, it’s that way. You go three blocks to Washington Street, 
then turn right. It’s on the corner, across from the bank.
MARK: Thanks! I’ve only been in town a few days, so I really don’t 
know my way around yet.
NANCY: Oh, I know how you feel. We moved here a year ago, and 
I still don’t know where everything is!



LANGUAGE NOTES
• Could you tell me … is slightly more polite than “Can you tell me …?”
• Could you tell me where the library is? Notice that “library” is stressed here because 
it is the word with the important information. This is an indirect question, so the subject 
(the library) comes before the verb (is). The word order is reversed in a direct question 
(Where is the library?).
• Yes, it’s that way. Notice the stress on “that.” The speaker is pointing in a certain 
direction and wants to emphasize that direction.
• I know how you feel is a way of saying “I understand.” Notice the emphasis on “feel.” 
The speaker wants to show empathy and understanding.
• I still don’t know where everything is! Notice the word order of where “everything 
is.” The subject (everything) comes before the verb (is). This word order is different from 
the direct question (Where is everything?)

Yötön yö ja juhannus! Tässä jaksossa puhun juhannuksesta ja mitä perinteistä ja uutta tekemistä  on kaupungissa. Perinteisesti juhannus on täynnä niin vanhoja kuin uusiakin juhannusperinteitä., sillä juhannusta voi viettää vaikka tanssien tai uiden maauimalassa! 
Juhannus on valon ja keskikesän juhla, johon kuuluu myös taiat, juhannussauna ja kokko. Hyvää juhannusta!!

Suomea for you
