¿Aprender un idioma como los bebés siendo adultos?
Many students think the best way is to learn “like a baby”: listening, watching, and absorbing effortlessly.
But as adults, we have another advantage: we can activate learning consciously.
Passive learning
(como los bebés 👶)
Babies listen and watch for months before speaking. They don’t study rules or memorize.
They just absorb.
✔️ Good for: building intuition.
❌ Limited: requires time and a 24/7 environment.
Active learning
(como adultos 👩🎓)
Adults use memory, analysis, and conscious practice: studying, writing, repeating, speaking.
We can speed up the process.
✔️ Good for: progressing fast and with structure.
❌ Risk: staying in theory without real practice.
¿Qué funciona mejor?

What works best?
The combination.
- Passive to absorb: listening to music, watching shows, observing conversations.
- Active to consolidate: practicing aloud, writing, using new phrases.
