Active listening is the most important in applying this method. Imagine that you can hear decode text while at the same time you’re reading it.
At this stage the one's native language is uniting with foreign language. Through listening to the second language at simultaneous reading decode text both languages are joined inseparably. That’s the great difference between standard methods and Birkenbihl method. You should take notice of it. You can learn using this method every language you want to. It’s very simple. You’ll see.
Thanks to decoding you’ll be able to understand the whole text that you’re listening. Apart from that you always listen to something interesting what you’ve found by yourself. You are creating the context which is a food of the right hemisphere of the brain thanks to that.
Never learn vocabulary without context. For our mind decoded text in a foreign language is the same correct as the text in your language. Active listening is effective because it remains the learning of mother language. When words are being met in the semantic connection. At connecting the first and second stage a process of the comprehensive learning is coming into existence because when you’re listening and reading decoded text your right hemisphere can do many different things for example:
*you are getting to know about the pronunciation
*you are getting to know about the accent
*you can “hear” language, his melody
I recorded this exactly as it was written, but some of the grammar is a little wrong. Would you like me to re-read this with the grammar corrected?
