Japanese lessons under hypnosis: everything you might want to know
What is Hypnosis?
When you are under hypnosis, you are relaxed and at the same time focused on one specific subject. That may sound contradictory, but look at it this way: precisely because your brain does not have to process all kinds of stimuli, thoughts and outside influences, the state of hypnosis is in fact deeply relaxing. Your brain only needs to focus on one thing: your Japanese course.
How am I hypnotised?
You start each lesson of your Japanese course with a guided relaxation. You sit or lie in a comfortable chair and through your headphones you hear the voice of your teacher who talks in a calm tone, with relaxing music in the background. You don’t have to do anything in particular, you just have to listen. This process puts you under hypnosis or in deep relaxation.
What does hypnosis feel like?
Actually, you probably already know what hypnosis feels like, because you experience this state of mind almost every day. You can compare it very well with a kind of ‘flow state’: you are so absorbed in something that you forget everything else around you. For example, read a good book and the world around you ‘does not exist’ for a moment, or you are busy with your hobby and afterwards you do not understand where the time has gone.
That’s exactly what hypnosis feels like: you’re not ‘gone’, but you shut out the rest of the world, as it were, while focusing on just one thing.
Why should I learn Japanese under hypnosis? Why not just learn the normal way like everywhere else?
Learning Japanese under hypnosis is perfect for you if you:
- Don’t feel like having required class on Tuesday evenings
- Don’t want to memorise long lists and fill out grammar exercises
- Want to learn effortlessly (ideal if you have little time and/or energy left after work for example)
Classical classroom language education is actually quite unnatural. You didn’t learn your mother tongue by blocking, but by listening, imitating and experimenting with the language and its sounds. That is exactly what we aim for in our approach using hypnosis: you are receptive and ‘play’ with the language, without pressure, stress or the urge to achieve.
Can I also learn to read and write Japanese under hypnosis?
No, you only learn to understand and speak Japanese under hypnosis during your lessons, but we do teach how to read and write Japanese ‘in the normal way’.
However, that doesn’t mean that you won’t benefit from the hypnosis method when you’re learning to read and write as well. Because of your previous lessons under hypnosis you have already been intensively and 100% focused on the language. This means that you’ve absorbed a basic knowledge of the language. Your head can therefore make connections easily and you learn more efficiently.
