This is a post combining my two passions: #running and #languagelearning, specifically #Korean
A while ago I started doing my easy runs while listening to Korean sentences. The audio I uploaded here is a sample from @tomikorean Grammar Book 2
Advantages: Running slow in zone 2 gets easy because the focus is not on running, but on repeating sentences. If at any point I don't have enough breath to repeat a sentence, it means that I need to slow down.

Even when I don't have time to study #Korean, I feel like I am not losing any progress. Moreover I've seen my pronunciation improve considerably, though I still get challenged by some words (like 깨끗핬으면 "kkekkeutasseumion"
)
Memory. It's hard to repeat long sentences in a foreign language and sometimes I say the first half but forget the second one. It's a good exercise to remember things we only hear once.

So if you're a runner and wish to learn a new language would you give this method a try?
PS: sorry for the shaky footage

@s1m0n4 i would be afraid of how this looks like to other people: a guy who talks to himself in a strange language (I'd like to learn Klingon)
@NerdRunner Korean is a strange enough language here too
Personally I don't care much about what people think. I used to sing
The most important thing is that I spend my time in an efficient way.
