I know this is a stupid topic (at least it's related), but I was just curious if I
was the only one that consumed large amounts of water while learning a language. Of course you guys know that when you talk you lose moisture from your body. So how much water do you drink in a session, an hour, or whatever? Me? I usually study for about 3-4 hours a day or more in German. All of it with the FSI so I'm talking almost the entire time. Everytime I study my throat gets really dry after like 20-30 minutes, and if I don't have a bottle of water I start choking on everything I say. So yeah, I drink about 2 bottles every hour. How about everyone else out there? Do you consume a lot of water when you study and do you have throat drying problem too?

I do not drink water but I do consume a large amount of tea while I'm studying.

I have to drink large amounts of water also. I don't drink many fizzy drinks or coffee, just water or sometimes a flavoured type.
When I study though, I don't see much of an increase in how thirsty I am. However, I have something to drink nearby to quench my thirst. Take a look at the sodium in your diet. I'm no expert on this, but the more salts you consume the more water you'll need to drink. It's especially bad with many processed foods at they have high sodium levels.

Yes definitely. Being British it is simply impossible for me to study
without a hot beverage every 30 minutes or so! This is usually either a coffee, or a big cup of Rooibos tea (very hydrating), but any type of tea will do... 1 person has voted this message useful | |

I actually wonder if the amount of soda/pop/Coke whatever you would like to call it has had a negative impact on my concentration. Caffine is surely not good for one in large amounts, and I've wondered if it has affected my memory at times...Or maybe I'm just naturally absent minded.
I think it's a good question, actually, because to be effective learners, it's better to keep one in good shape, instead of going off of unhealthy fuel for the mind and body. To simply answer your question: Not nearly enough. My dentist is probably not too bothered, though. :-) 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Tap water galore.
The best and healthiest beverage is tap water. 1 person has voted this message useful |
