This is a post combining my two passions: and , specifically 🇰🇷

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:
1️⃣ 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.

[1/3]

2️⃣ Even when I don't have time to study , 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" 😂)
3️⃣ 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.

[2/3]

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 🎤 while before listening and repeating Korean sentences 😂
The most important thing is that I spend my time in an efficient way.
