Active vs. Passive Vocabulary
- We acquire two types of vocabularies: active and passive.
- Active vocabulary includes words we use, while passive vocabulary includes words we understand but don't use.
Activating Passive Vocabulary
- Understanding words isn't enough to use them actively.
- Repetition is key to converting passive vocabulary into active vocabulary.
