We have had some good classes here with tips on how to learn a new language. They have demonstrated some of the different sounds made in other languages and it is amazing how difficult it can be to mimic those sounds. We all have the same equipment and physical ability to make sounds but sometimes our brain just gets in the way of making them. It is not a good thing when your brain gets in the way of making the right sound.
Our brain can also get in the way when we try to eat an exotic food. We have all heard some stories about a food which seem totally unbelievable. The problem with eating foods like this is that as you try to be polite and force it down, your brain gets in the way and shouts “That’s not food”. Unfortunately, this can start a whole chain reaction of events. It is not a good thing when your brain gets in the way of eating food.
I find that my brain even gets in the way of practicing solitude. Sometimes my thoughts seems like a tree full monkeys, chattering and jumping from limb to limb. It is hard to get them to quiet down. Do you find that your brain sometimes gets in the way of things too?
