I’ve enjoyed listening to the radio in Gaelic and Welsh the last few days. I have been home alone working, so the radio is good company, but I don’t want to get distracted. Listening to radio in languages I don’t understand is a good way to fill the silence at home but stay focused on the tasks at hand. It gives some people a headache, I’ve heard, but not me. I find it more effective than music, and I love the sound of the languages. I picked Gaelic and Welsh because those were the two I knew I could find easily in a pinch the other day.
Gaelic. Welsh.
My mother and I used to spend hours watching news in languages we didn’t know. There was a great channel on St. Thomas where there would be soap operas in Tagalog and news in Amharic and Greek.
