Asking questions and teaching interactively is a actually a great way to learn something interactively too. If you are with someone else, and you teach them something, often times you'll find that they will give you a perspective on the subject you hadn't thought of before. So you've gained in at least 2 ways by asking questions, first you have helped yourself by learning more and second you have helped the "teacher" gain a new perspective on the problem.
