 -Why do you think is it important for language learners to be active ? - Because learning or acquire new language so important and so easy to forget. While we are learning language we should practise as much as we can. Taking mini notes for grammer and words will develop ourselves. But of course It is depends to person. We should prepare daily routines and keep pace with it. For me, the most significant thing in learning language is speaking. Talking with somebody or your friends will help you and encourage you in terms of speaking. Learning language without speaking is not correct thing for me. And if we want to being active in language we should  study and speak the language.
