Language study (any language) should include study of the geaography of the cultures that speak it

Language study should include a good study of the geography of the cultures that speak it. Tons of good reasons for this as it relates to study of any language, but I don't see it ever recommended. For example, if you are studying English, you should learn about the geography of the UK, US, Canada, Australia. Tons of good reasons for this, the most obvious being that there's a lot of geography related idioms and expressions in any language with (hopefully) obvious examples like "high tide," "low tide," "up current," "down current," "rivers flow downhill," "water seeks its own level," "don't go fishing in the same spot twice," "don't let one drop of water make you think you're drowning," "face the current if you want to go against it," "don't try to go against the current, find a way to move diagonally acoss it." With some more poetic examples of "a ship without an anchor sinks faster than one without a sail," "if you stay on the high seas too long, no amount of landmarks mean anything," "sailing across the sea doesn't help you if you forget where you're coming from."<br><br>There are tons of examples from dry land, like "uphill battle," "downhill skier," "rocky road (to Hoe)," "Mount Everest-sized challenge," "a large boulder in your path blocks your journey and can weigh you down in one spot," "rainy days turn dirt to mud, but too many sunny days turn it to dust," "you can't walk across the desert without plenty of water," "the best way to get across a desert is to follow someone else's success," "the road not travelled is sometimes that way for a good reason," "don't follow someone else down a blind alley," "the water might be hot in this alley so don't jump right in," "you don't have to drink all the water in the bucket to know it's hot," etc.<br><br>There are 100s of thousands of geography-related expressions like these in any language that you have to know or you won't understand large parts of your language and will also have difficulty expressing yourself. So from this reason alone, if you're study a language, you should know some basics about the geaography of those countries. This is especially true if the language is spoken in places with extreme geaography like Iceland (water falls), Hawaii (volcanoes), and Egypt (desert).
