Good post. I always have worries about these books and the miracle methodologies of "how to do something better", but I will try that. I am learning English. It is difficult for me. But I will follow your advice. Thanks

I understand you 😅. I like to think of learning effectively as a skill in itself.

For example, people who are great at learning languages have found a structure and effective method to do so. This takes practice and time. The more you learn, the better you get. A good analogy is learning how to play the bass. If you switch to learning guitar, you’ll already have some basics and an understanding of how to learn it faster.

With a good method and effective study strategies, you can definitely learn anything.

There’s a lot of science behind this (educational and cognitive psychology, and neuroscience). This is a good paper to start with: https://doi.org/10.1186/s41235-017-0087-y

Hope it inspires you!

Pd: I will post an article next week on how to learn a language fast :)
