Speaking in Tongues

dare devil | spiritual learner | beginner-intermediate-advanced

Feel the spiritual energy of religious practice from which have developed in different cultures for centuries.  Start channeling the energy of the communities that have spoken in tongues.

This technique is the next step on from the self-talk technique.  If you haven’t already attempted this technique you should consider trying it first.

WHAT: The language learner sets themselves the goal of speaking out loud in their desired language for designated periods of time or at certain moments of the day.  

A designated moment could be while washing the dishes, for example, of whenever riding one’s bike.  

A designated period of time could involve designating a block of time when one fully commits to this exercise 

 This task is usually more achievable in smaller increments, but sticking to the desired language for longer periods, without lapsing back into the mother tongue, can be quite tricky.

SOME METHODS: 

Start by setting yourself the goal of doing this for 5 minutes a day, and then slowly increase this amount.  For example by 1 minute each day, or doing 5 minute blocks for the first week, then 10 minute blocks in the second week and so forth.

Choose a daily action or chore to couple this exercise with.  For example, when I wash the dishes, I always speak to myself in the desired language.
