As the COVID-19 pandemic confines many of us to our home towns, it is more and more difficult to get our travel fix. That said, there is plenty of evidence to suggest that learning a language could be a great way to activate similar travel experiences but from the comfort of your own home. Here are 3 perks to learning a language in lockdown.
Novelty
When you travel, you are constantly exposed to new and exciting experiences. This can become addictive and is one of the reasons many of us love to travel. Learning a language can have a similar effect. The novel sound, feel and world of the language can simulate some of those feelings.
Adventure
Learning a language is like taking an adventure into another culture’s mind. We can get this from traveling to the country, but we can also do it by immersing ourselves in the language.
Secures Future Travel
During lockdown, it can be a good idea to start planning future trips for after the pandemic. Learning the language of the culture you want to visit will prepare you for that journey, allows you to already start living it, and will enrich your future experience.
