Well said, Splog. (No guilty conscience here, English is one of my target languages after all.)
I would like to translate that to: Anything that will keep your mind occupied even after the hour is over. Like jokes, irony or other subtleties. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Something different from the hour before, and not the same as what you'll be doing an hour later.... ;-)

The best way to spend an hour's time is to divide it by four and spend a quater of an hour at a time throughout the day.

Even better, speaking with natives in the pub :)

there are a bunch of great answers here :)
i would like to point out that 15-minute spurts is especially great for learning any type of new information because you have to obviously build up your endurance with this new information. i say this because my drumming students have had much success working on 15-minute exercise plans; and most of my personal success involved focused, highly isolated and specialized exercises that lasted between 15 and 30 minutes. Rarely were these exercises longer than 30 minutes. with that note, i am honestly still not sure whether 15 minute spurts throughout the day are also better for more advanced learners. i am a strong believer that giving your maintenance time--and especially conditioning your body to go into "maintenance mode" at will--is even more effective when involved with 15-30 minute exercises. 1 person has voted this message useful |
