I think it is an active listening technique...right?

It sounds like you are talking about a counselling technique. It would be listening to a clients responses and clarifying them for the client by summarizing major points and clarifying what client is feeling. In doing so you are allowing the client to explore there own feelings and actions without making them defensive because you are not telling them what to do but merely redescribing what they are saying. IT makes them feel they are heard and understood.

Unbelievably so. I'm not understanding why it is trendy to sound like an imbecile.

I don't think it is wrong to listen to anything. That is why God gave you the privilege of hearing. You were born into this beautiful country with the freedom to speak,  listen ,voice your opinion and to be you. What you do, nobody should have control over. But, ask yourself..... Do you feel comfortable listening to those classes of music? If you do , OK. Obviously you are having some sort of odd feelings or you wouldn't be asking this question. Follow your heart,

If it is 'pleasant' and 'repetitive' then it will 'catch' on to you, therefore being 'catchy'....  :-)  Songs are bait.  We are fish.  If we are caught by the bait, then we'll 'bite', meaning we'll purchase the bait and hopefully like that enough to get the whole can-of-worms (the whole cd)...  ;-)

I listen to pimmsler (a brand of audio spanish lessons) while i drive.  i think it is effective and churches in our community have free classes.  I don't want to sit in front of a computer so i get audio tapes for the car.  cheap on ebay.

Why don't you just play it by ear...take your time and if it's right you'll know it.

It works, in a limited way.\nActually it has more than 1 point of view.\nPsyhodinamically, it is said that when our conscious mind is resting, sub- & un-conscious mind are still active. And they have the capacity to store memories (long-term memories) so we can bypass our conscious mind by memorizing things (including vocabs) right into the subconscious mind. \nWhen is this window opened, it is while we asleep / through hypnosis.\n\nCognitive-psychology would see it from the brain working style. While we FALL asleep, our brain's waves turns from Alpha (wake / alert pattern) to Delta (sleeping pattern). It goes slowly (or quickly, depends on our mental state / how sleepy we are, etc) through Beta pattern first.\nWell, beta brain waves is known to be the most effective for brain to function. (That's one of the reason why people are suggested to listen to 60 beats instrumental music while studying, because it helps stimulate brain waves into this condition)\nWhen we are in this state, the brain will absorb the information exposed.\n\nOff course there are 2 obvious drawbacks.\n1. the phase / length of time when brain will 'learn' is raher limited. So it is not wise to depend on this method to learn new languages. It is most effective (I think) to use this method only to get used to the language itself and the pronounciation.\n2. brain can only takes vocabs / sound / pronounciation, and not grammar, since grammar / other language rules need thinking / understanding, and so need the conscious mind to be active.\n\nI am indonesian, and I speak mandarin, fujian, and french (apart from english), so I had had first hand experiences about these stuffs.\n\nThese methods help, but not in themselves sufficient to learn a language. Good luck!

listen to this, its common knowledge unless your deaf. But kidding aside, you have a point. =) let me know if thre's one.\n\nI guess teaching a person how to listen is offensive to most  people, because as i said its common knowledge. they might believe they no longer need for you to dictate to them what they need to hear. And its just more complicated to teach people how to listen compared to speaking. because all they want to do is to butt in.

interesting observation.  I am a musician and a lot of times, people use loud music to shut out the other sounds that constantly assault our ears.  Do this experiment.  Try your best to find 5 solid minutes with no sounds coming into your ears. It is almost impossible in today's world.

Absolutely! Thats an amazing way to connect, and learn more about each other. Excellent stuff.

You can take lessons to develop your voice in terms of range and projection.  But one also needs an "ear" for music to be able to hear when they are on key and in rhythm with the music, and I don't believe that can be taught.  And of course there's the issue of stage presence that is crucial for success in the performing arts.

I like to take notes, or highlight the valuable information, then make an audio recording of it. You listen to it many times, before long its imprinted on your brain....like a bad song.
