When Should You Study English?

Lindsay: This is an All Ears English Podcast, Episode 3: Wisdom Wednesdays.

Gabby: Welcome to the All Ears English Podcast, where you’ll finally get real Native English conversation. Now here are your hosts, Lindsay McMahon, the ‘English Adventurer’ and Gabby Wallace, the ‘Language Angel’, coming to you from Boston, Massachusetts, USA.

In today’s episode, we want to share some wisdom, from our experience as language teachers and language learners. So we want to share with you all, uh, a tip, uh, about when to study. So study in the morning because your willpower will be stronger right when you wake up. And additionally to make this work even better for you, the night before, you wanna (want to) write down what you’re going to do. So then when you wake up, it’s like you’re on automatic pilot. You just get up, and even before you know what you’re doing, you’re studying.

Lindsay: Right. Yeah. I read something recently talking about how willpower’s a muscle and if we get up early, right? If you’re on a normal schedule, you get up early, um, your willpower actually depletes throughout the day. So when you wake up, your willpower’s the strongest, so try to do a small study task early. Right? -something you can accomplish and get it done and you’ll be on the right track that day.

Gabby: I know personally this works really well for me. Whenever I decide the night before that I’m going to get up and do something important to me, whether it’s studying or exercise, it works really well- just to put myself on autopilot, it’s like I don’t have that decision ‘Should I study or should I watch TV for an hour?’ there’s not even a choice, you just do what you really need to do.

Lindsay: I like that. So make English a part of your morning.

Gabby: Yeah.

Lindsay: And you’ll see yourself getting better much quicker.

Gabby: Have you, have you ever done this?

Lindsay: Yeah. I do this every night. I write out, sort of a list… Gabby: Cool.

Lindsay: …of the things I’m gonna (going to) do the next morning. And it, sometimes it’s actually, it’s venting. It makes you feel good to be able to see all that on a piece of paper and you’re gonna (going to) get up and you’re just gonna (going to) get started.

Gabby: That’s awesome.

Lindsay: Mm-hm.

Gabby: And that works well for you, huh?

Lindsay: Yeah. Totally.

Gabby: Great! Yeah, so we encourage you to put your ears into English as soon as you wake up.
