Hey guys so the sheer raw number of hours
you spend with a language is by far the greatest predictor
to how quickly you are going to be making those language learning gains
so today I am going to give you my take on how to a JET style immersion
when it comes to listening
so what I like to break listening down into 3 different categories
we have Active listening, partially active listening
and then passive listening
so active listening is when you're sitting down
you're listening to Japanese and you're giving your 100% undivided attention
trying your hardest to understand it, the best you can
then we have partially active listening which is when you're listening
but you're also doing something at the same time
like maybe you're cooking or cleaning or walking somewhere
or going to the bathroom
and you are listening and you are following along
And...
You still are paying attention
but you doing something at the same time,
your attention is divided and
is not the same quality
