Yesteray I had the awesome experience of attending a Yoga class in my community. The coolest thing about this was not only did I get a great workout but I was able to practice my japanese listening skills. Right now I am trying to train my ears to be able to hear the Japanese language. Since Yoga is a physical activity where the instructor will model everything he or she says it is a great class for me to practice my listening skills.
About halways thru the class I was able to follow some of the words the instructor was saying. By "follow" I do not mean I understood the english counterpart. I simply mean that I was able to hear and repeat some of the words back in my own head. As I begin to have a grasp on the language these are the experiences that will make it easier for me to have an "ear" for the language.
The class is every week on Tuesdays and I plan to attend every week. Not only is it great exercise but it also allows me to hear japanese then immediatelly see a large group of people do exactly what was stated to do.
