Best passive non-time consuming methods to understand + remember things in subjects?

showsaf

I was wondering about any methods you used or are currently doing to remember key things in your subjects.

I am currently listening to Macbeth every night before I go to sleep.

I write down all of the key words for my spanish oral.

Neither of those are exactly passive methods - which don't exist.

Whatever works for you though, so long as you're not looking for the holy grail of results with no study.

Listening properly in class is the easiest way to 'get' things first time.

Have an interest in the subject outside school.

Yeah, except that doesn't work for the subjects you really need to study for. Hate English, it's the one I have to study most for.

I always try to listen in class but it's just so difficult, I just end up day dreaming unless I know the teacher is strict. Some teachers are just so meh

Spurious is definately right, listening in class and completi g homework are the best ways of learning/understanding something. If you want to improve things like irish though, try listening to raidio na gaeltachta for 10 mins in the evening when going walking or something. One thing I'mfindonh really helpful is on my phone I recorded myself reading out my sraith picture notes and listen to them and am going to do the same with spainsh/ irish oral prep. Also for things where there's rote learning like in chem I sometimes write definitions on post its and stick them in random places around my room eg on the mirror
