Can you learn a language without paying attention, trying, or even knowing that you're learning? In this video of our Science Behind Language Learning series, your guide Kaitlyn Tagarelli (Linguist, PhD) explores implicit and explicit language learning, the continuum they exist on, and why striking a balance between the two might be key to language learning success.
