| Becky: Alright, listeners. |
| Peter: Are you an active learner or a passive learner? |
| Becky: Do you even know? |
| Peter: Here’s the difference. |
| Becky: ‘Active learning’ means you’re actively engaging with learning material and focusing on it. |
| Peter: For example, you’re reading in your target language... |
| Becky: ...you’re looking up words and translating as you go along... |
| Peter: ...you’re memorizing a list of phrases or you’re speaking out loud. |
| Becky: So, you’re fully focused on what you’re learning. Nothing else. |
| Peter: Passive learning is different. It requires less concentration. |
| Becky: Yeah, it’s usually done when you’re doing something else... |
| Peter: ...for example, walking somewhere or taking the train. |
| Becky: You could be listening to an audio lesson, watching a video lesson, reading... |
| Peter: Now, the difference is, you’re not focused on picking apart every single word. |
| Becky: You’re just passively taking the language in. |
| Peter: So listeners, how do you learn? |
| Becky: Are you actively engaged or do you passively learn on the go? Or do you mix it up? |
| Peter: Let us know in the comments. |
| Becky: Now, here’s how you can learn both ways with our lessons. |
| Peter: If you’re an active learner, here are 4 tactics you can use right now. |
| Becky: Number 1 - Listen or watch a lesson and... read along with the translations. |
| Peter: You get complete translations in the lesson notes and the line-by-line dialogue. |
| Becky: ...And this will skyrocket your reading, comprehension and listening skills. |
| Peter: The best part is: you’ll understand every single word. The translations are right in front of you. |
| Becky: Number 2 - Repeat the lesson dialogue as you hear it. |
| Peter: This is called shadowing and it will boost your speaking skills... guaranteed. |
| Becky: Just repeat the lines that you hear until you can speak with confidence. |
| Peter: To make it even easier, you get the lines in the line-by-line... |
| Becky: ...and the lesson notes for every lesson. |
| Peter: ...so you can read them out loud as you hear them in the lesson. |
| Becky: Number 3 - Record yourself with our voice recorder in the line-by-line... |
| Peter: ...to perfect your pronunciation and see how close you are to a native speaker. |
| Becky: Number 4 - If you want to boost your vocabulary... |
| Peter: ..study words with our smart flashcards. |
| Becky: They sort the words for you. So, you get the harder words more often.... |
| Peter: ...until you master them. And the easy ones show up now and then to refresh your memory. |
| Becky: And Number 5 – Ask questions! Leave a comment in the comment section.. |
| Peter: Or if you’re a Premium PLUS user, you get your very own teacher... |
| Becky: ...and you can ask them to review and correct your writing and speaking skills.. |
| Peter: ...ask for learning advice and get all of your questions and issues answered. |
| Becky: Now, if you’re on the go, and can’t really focus on the lessons... |
| Peter: This is a great time to do passive learning and put wasted time to use. |
| Becky: Simply play a lesson and listen along. That’s it. |
| Peter: You can learn on the go with our FREE Innovative Language 101 App |
| Becky: ...for the Android, iPhone and iPad. |
| Peter: But you should use this time to review old lessons since you can’t fully concentrate. |
| Becky: Great tip, Peter. It’s hard to learn new things when you’re not fully engaged. |
| Peter: But listeners, both are great ways to learn, depending on your situation. |
| Becky: If you have some quiet time and can focus, go for the active learning. |
| Peter: If you’re on the go or multi-tasking, passive learning is the way to go. |
| Becky: Whichever your style is, you can apply both with our language learning system. |
| Peter: And… |

I think passive learning make it easy to absorbe the lesson when actively practicing.
