This week's review is for the Passive Podcast Methodology. I would recommend it for beginner and intermediate levels of learners. The methodology is what it sounds like, listening to Podcasts to tune your ear into the phonetic nuances (ka, ki, ku, ke, ko sounds different in different accents in other words) of the Hiragana system.1[1][2] If you havent heard of Passive and Active Learning, they are defined on the Sitem@p (Glossary), but refer essentially to sit-down versus background/contextual learning approaches you can take in your everyday life to help with language learning.
What
The Passive Podcast Method is a methodology which follows the idea that you listen to podcasts in the background of your day, as a form of what I refer to her as language input. This is a better idea than anime or music for example, becuase it provides examples of natural language usage between single and multiple speakers. Anime, video games and music whilst great examples of input and not to be knocked, are artforms and should be treated as such. They will include more advanced, artistic and off the wall examples of language than a native speaker in a natural conversation is likely to do with a podcast.
There is not a lot to this methodology, and I recommend you find your own podcasts as it will make more likely you will be able to find something you want to listen to. Good places to start may be Youtube, Spotify, Green Fruit Music Incorporated (No suing shall occur today!) or just typing into Google some keywords in Japanese such as 'podcast', 'language' etc and taking an internet surf along in the information super-highway.
Where
Our example comes from https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCc8QJqwkWe9RcKYZTY2Ezuw [2]
Who
Bite size Japanese podcast belongs to it creator Layla and is copyright to them, I simply point to them here as an excellent example of what is available to Japanese language learning users online.
The Passive Podcast method comes from the Youtube user Özge.[1] The idea may or may not be copyright, given the nature of it, probably not.
Youtube belongs to Google, which in turn belongs to Alphabet.
These all have many, many people involved in these projects whom I would love to highlight if they wish to be.
When
Available 24/7, might require subscription though for some features.
Why
I would recommend this methodology as a study tool guide for language input. It can make you fell like you are doing more if you have a spare hour or 2 and you want to get some passive learning in.
Passive learning is not active learning though so keep that one in mind. It does not not make it learnign though becuase it will help you be able to pick up natural conversation, certain words, frequencies, intonation, pitch, accent, slang and other little contextual nuances in between active learning activities.
