here’s the difference active learning

means you’re actively engaging with

learning material and focusing on it

for example you’re reading in your

target language

you’re looking up words you’re

translating you’re memorizing phrases or

you’re speaking out loud

so you’re focused on what you’re

learning and you’re really into it

now passive learning is different it

requires less concentration

it’s usually done when you’re doing

something else for example

doing chores driving to work or taking

the train

you could be listening to an audio

lesson or watching a video lesson

but the difference is you’re not focused

on picking apart every word

you’re just passively taking the

language in
