For example, the huge Latinum audio project for teaching Classical Latin through extensive audio exposure ( http://latinum.mypodcast.com ) was set up in response to earlier research into the importance of audio for acquiring grammatical patterns subconsciously, irrespective of meaning. This goes back to Chomsky's famous "colourless green ideas sleep furiously" - that grammatical information can be encoded in sentences without meaning.

I then look them up in a dictionary and record the word/phrase on the recorder of my MP3 player. I then play them back constantly as a way to build vocabulary by repetition while listening to the sound of my own voice in Spanish.
