Boyle shares his theory on learning Spanish by thinking in the language first.
Inspired by Noam Chomsky, he explores the idea that language is thought.
Suggests creating a Spanish world in his head by writing a movie script.
Admits he might not have the follow-through but is excited about the idea.
Combines humour with intellectual curiosity for an engaging episode.
This is like a coke head in a bathroom talking about starting a food truck.
Join comedian David Boyle in this episode of 'I'm Quitting Alcohol' as he shares his latest wild theory. Boyle, known for his humorous and candid take on sobriety, dives into the fascinating world of linguistics inspired by Noam Chomsky. He explores the concept that language is thought and discusses how this idea has influenced his approach to learning Spanish.
Boyle suggests that instead of trying to learn a language linearly, one should immerse themselves in it and think in the language first. He humorously compares this to creating a Spanish world in his head by writing a movie script entirely in Spanish. While he admits that he might not have the follow-through to fully test his theory, his excitement is palpable and contagious.
This episode is a blend of humour, intellectual curiosity, and a touch of madness, making it a must-listen for anyone interested in languages or looking for a good laugh. Tune in to hear Boyle's unique perspective and see if his theory holds any water.
