I really think the differences of Active and Passive is your endurance, passive has lower endurance so you don't strain and burn out very quickly, but you get backlashed with limited information. Unlike Active which needs full attention at most/all times to recover and remember most of the things you've learned. Asking yourself questions drains a lot of energy but helps strengthen your memories with the question and answer of it.

Thanks for all your informative and useful videos, I'm now able to learn much more effectively and have more fun doing it. One question:
When you are learning very actively you described that you put in a lot more effort, so is it right to assume, that when you feel exhausted (not sleepy) after learning that you are learning the right way? =)

Active learning is also frustrating sometimes lol.

What???? You feel drowsy?? Do people actually do "passive learning" when they sleep???? I thought that was a disproven gimmick.


I thought passive learning was something like listening to a podcast in another language, and tuning in and out while you play a video game, or cook, or etc.?? Compared to "actively" focusing entirely on the dialogue, transcribing it, taking notes on new grammar to check out later, etc.

Have people always meant "tired, half-hearted study" when they said this??
