Passive Listening Drawbacks
- Passive listening, playing English in the background while doing other tasks, isn't an effective system for complete fluency.
- The brain needs active attention to learn new content effectively.
Active vs. Passive Listening
- Try to maintain your concentration as much as possible when listening to new English content.
- When repeating the same content, you don't need to focus 100% because you're just reinforcing what you've already learned.
Quantity over Quality
- Prioritize quantity over quality in language learning.
- Listening for 2 hours with 70% focus is better than 20 minutes with 100% focus.
