INSIGHT

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.
ADVICE

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.
ADVICE

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.
