3 tips on how to study effectively
During their training, medical residents learn countless techniques, surgeries, and procedures which they’ll later use to save lives. Being able to remember these skills can quite literally be a matter of life and death. With this in mind, a 2006 research study took a class of surgical residents learning to suture arteries and split them into two groups. Each received the same study materials, but one group implemented a small change in how they studied them. And when tested one month later, this group performed the surgeries significantly better than the other residents. We’ll discuss the secret to that group’s success, along with two other highly effective study techniques which can be applied both in and out of the classroom. But to understand why these methods work, let's first unpack how the brain learns and stores information. Say you're trying to memorize the anatomy of the heart. When you’re introduced to a new concept, the memory is temporarily encoded in groups of neurons in a brain area called the hippocampus.

How to Learn Any Language FAST
Intro I didn't begin learning a second language until I turned 28. I am now 35 and I am proficient in Spanish, French, Mandarin, and Arabic. I have learned them all fairly well, but I want to make it clear that I am not unusually gifted. I have simply found an effective method for quickly learning languages that is free, simple, and surprisingly enjoyable. In this article, I aim to share this method with you. There is an overwhelming amount of misinformation about language learning, especially on YouTube. You may have come across videos with titles like "Learn a Language in Three Months," "Learn a Language in Two Weeks," or "Learn a Language While You're in the Bath." The truth is, these videos are not authentic; they are clickbait, plain and simple. I want to speak candidly about language learning because I believe that false expectations can be harmful. Real progress takes time. At the very least, it will probably take you at least six months to feel confident speaking a new language, especially if it is somewhat similar to a language you already know, like English to Spanish. If the language is more distant, such as English to Japanese, you should be prepared to dedicate at least two years of consistent study before you begin to feel comfortable expressing yourself in various situations. For what it's worth, that's how I define fluency: the ability to understand others and express yourself confidently in virtually any setting. So, how can you reach that level? Let's delve into it.

A Teaching Philosophy Thirteen (Challenging) Years in the Making
“...Learning is a place where paradise can be created. The classroom, with all its limitations, remains a location of possibility. In that field of possibility we have the opportunity to labor for freedom, to demand of ourselves and our comrades, an openness of mind and heart that allows us to face reality even as we collectively imagine ways to move beyond boundaries, to transgress. This is education as the practice of freedom.” -bell hooks, Teaching to Transgress
