I spentthelastmonthresearchinglearningtipsandstrategiestohelpmelearnanythingfaster.
私はこの1ヶ月間、どんなことでも早く習得できるよう、学習のコツや戦略を研究した。
Here's why.
その理由はこうだ。
I wasactually a badstudentwhen I wasinschool.
実は学生時代は成績が悪かった。
I hadbadgrades, I missedclasses, and I definitelysleptinfor a fewexamsortwo.
成績は悪かったし、授業も休んだし、試験も何度か寝坊した。
Fastforwardtomy 20s, I actuallydiscoveredthat I lovelearning, gettingmyhandsdirty, gainingnewknowledge, experimenting, reallydeepdivingintotopicsthat I foundinteresting.
Sotheproblemwasnevermyinterestforlearning, butwasthat I neverreallyhad a systemthatworkedformethathelpedmelearneffectively.
つまり、問題は私の学習に対する興味ではなく、効果的に学習できるシステムがなかったことなのだ。
Soifyoualsolovelearningnewthingsoryou'rein a classrightnowandyou'rejustreallystrugglingtokeepup, herearefiveofthebeststrategiesthat I foundthatwillhelpyoulearnanythingfasteraswellasmoredeeply.
Soforexample, ifyou'relearning a language, itcanbereallyhelpfultostartwiththe a thousandmostcommontermsinthatlanguageortostartbylearningthegrammaticalstructureofsentences.
Sotakingthatlanguageexampleagain, getgoodenoughwhereyoucansay a fewsimplesentencesorwritedown a fewsimplesentencesandthentrytogrowthatknowledgeasyougo.
A commonmisconceptionthatpeoplehavewhenthey'relearningsomethingnewisthattheythinkthatif I justbuythese 20 booksaboutthetopicandthen I readthemall, I willhavemasteredit, butthatisjustnothowitworks.
Sotakingallofthatinformation, youcankindofseewhyencodinginmultipleformatsis a reallygreatwayforyourbraintocontinuouslyengagewithnewinformationsothatitcanretainitforlonger.
And I absolutelylovethisaboutLingodabecauseitshowsthattheyactuallyreallycareaboutyouas a studentandwantyoutobeabletoachieveyourgoaloflearning a language.
Ifyouknowthatyouwanttofurtheryourlearningandcontinuetolearn a newlanguage, ifyouchoosethecreditsversion, itisactuallytheequivalentofgetting a hundredpercentofyourmoneybackthroughmoreclasses.
Theydefinitelydon't haveto, butitreallyhelpstomotivateyouas a studenttocontinueyourlearning.
そうする必要はないが、生徒として学習を続けるモチベーションを高めるには本当に役立つ。
Soifyou'remotivatedbychallengeslike I am, ifyouwanttomakelearning a languageinto a dailyhabit, orifyou'rejustlookingtomakereallyfastprogresswithlanguagelearning, I woulddefinitelyrecommendcheckingouttheLingodaSprintChallenge.

私が『Make It Stick』という本から学んだのは、脳の中に入って、学んだ情報を取り出し、思い出し、使うだけでいいということだ。
