Language-Learning Is a Type of Meditation

Foundation Operation X for Languages, Cultures and Perspectives

Written by Dyami Millarson

This is me studying Elfdalian grammar at home in 2019.

Learning languages calms the mind. One has to empty one’s mind and immerse oneself completely in the work of learning any language. Language-learning is my favourite way of distracting myself. It helped me through the most difficult times of my life and it has helped me to find inner peace. Meditation is characterised by (a) emptying, (b) calming and (c) training the mind. Language-learning helps me achieve all three of these. My tireless attempts at successful language-learning have, over the course of many years, helped me overcome many learning problems, including attention problems and dyslexia.
