Self hypnosis for language learning
Self hypnosis for language learning
About a year ago I created a self hypnotic mp3 for myself. It was more an mp3 full of positive affirmations and motivational statements that encouraged me to study and use my target foreign language I was trying to learn. Affirmations such as ‘you try to think in a foreign language whenever possible”. The result, whether placebo or not was the postive language learning affirmations seemed to work.
But I got the idea in my mind that somehow I was cheating or rather it was too new agey for me as I am a concrete skeptical thinker. So I stopped. I am curious what other people thing of the idea of creating a motivational mp3 or even self hypnotic mp3 to help motivate you learn a language. Is it too ‘out there’? Did it work for only me or do others have exprience with self hypnosis postive affirmations? Is it something that I should include in my language learning program or will it discredit the seriousness of my efforts? This is more a question than a answer about self hypnosis and positive affirmations for language learning.

@maria gray, The Chinese program is a long way off. But I will basically have a learning language with music, mnemonics, etymology and brainwaves and another learning languages with visual association, using games, brainwaves and images. Neither have hypnosis in them however, I was thinking of including this as many people have asked for it. I make my own hypnosis - motivation mp3s but I think I have to do more research on its effectiveness.
