The idea is that you load up your mp3 player with audio files for the languages you want to maintain and\/or improve, then you set it to randomly repeat them. The files could be language lessons, podcasts, audiobooks or anything else you have to hand. This method ensures that you don&#8217;t get tired of listening to one particular language, and should help you to switch between languages.<\/p>\n<p>I think I&#8217;ll give this a try. I already have quite a few language courses loaded onto my mp3 player and will set up a playlist for the ones I&#8217;m working on at the moment. I&#8217;ll add more lessons and chapters from my audiobooks to the playlist once I&#8217;ve read through them. This will enable me to revise material I&#8217;ve already covered. I might add some podcasts in languages such as French, Spanish, Russian and Japanese.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A recent post on The Linguist discusses an interesting idea for maintaining one&#8217;s abilities in various languages.
