Do you ever wish you had a personal coach for language learning? The good news is—you can be your own. 

In this episode of 111 Tips for Learning a Language, you’ll learn how to:
✨ Create identity-based goals that stick
✨ Build automatic habits with if–then plans and habit stacking
✨ Run a weekly self-check to track and adjust
✨ Use WOOP to turn obstacles into clear next steps
✨ Speak to yourself like a kind, encouraging coach

In Episode 93, you learn how to life-coach yourself through your language journey with compassion and structure. You begin with an identity statement that anchors your learning, then set one clear outcome and two supportive behaviours. You discover how to make practice automatic through if–then plans, habit stacking, and pairing practice with daily routines. A weekly self-check helps you track progress, reduce friction, and adjust kindly. Tools like WOOP (Wish, Outcome, Obstacle, Plan) keep you moving forward, and self-talk shifts from criticism to encouragement. With simple drills for vocabulary, grammar, pronunciation, listening, speaking, and writing, you create a steady system that keeps you consistent and motivated.

Listen now and discover how to coach yourself with compassion, structure, and steady progress.
And if you’d like extra guidance, I’d love to walk this journey with you in class on Italki.

SWE 144 -   July 4th New Indiana Jones Movie

If you don't already lift weights, it may be time to start. According to researchers from Japan, just 30 to 60 minutes of muscle-strengthening exercise a week is enough to lower a person's risk of early death.

Muscle-strengthening exercise can include activities like push-ups, yoga and walking up steps, among others.

The research was based on 16 previously published studies that had between 4,000 and 480,000 adult participants.

The studies were done in the US, England, Scotland, Australia and Japan. The participants had no serious health issues, and they were monitored for at least two years.

The results, published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine, showed that those who did between 30 and 60 minutes of strength or weight training a week had a 10% to 20% lower risk of early death from all causes.

This type of exercise was also found to lower the risks of heart disease and cancer by about the same amount.

Participants who reported doing a combination of muscle training and aerobic activity were found to have a 40% lower risk of death from all causes, 46% lower risk of heart disease, and 28% lower risk of death from cancer.

However, after 130 to 140 minutes of muscle training, the positive health effects decreased, and were only seen in issues related to diabetes.

Speaking with CNN, University of Minnesota professor William Roberts, who was not part of the study, said the results are good for people who want to improve their health but don't have much time for exercise.
