In this video, I'm going to give you three core learning principles

that you can literally use and apply right now to help you learn anything so fast that people think you're a genius.

Because the thing is, once I started actually applying these three learning principles that I'm about to teach you in this video,

I got three A stars and one A in my A-level exams,

and I'm currently studying, I graduated as valedictorian,

and I'm currently studying at the University of Hong Kong right now.

These tips are the foundation to any successful learning system out there.

So whatever learning system you're planning on creating after this video,

you need to have these three core principles in mind.

So without further ado, let's get into the video.

The first thing that I'm trying to convey to you with this cursed skull emoji picture is

that learning is not supposed to be easy.

Learning is actually in fact quite the opposite.

Learning is actually supposed to be really, really challenging.

And if you're not challenging your brain enough, that's not learning.

So imagine like you're trying to learn something new.

For example, let's say that you wanted to learn how to shoot a basketball.

Assume that you don't know how to shoot one before.

If you start first learning how to shoot the basketball,

the first shot that you will make is probably going to brick and completely airball.

Airball means like the ball didn't touch the net and you feel like an absolute failure.

So that's how learning is supposed to be.

But the more you shoot the basketball,

the more you kind of keep shooting and practicing your shot,

the better you are going to get at it.

So what I'm trying to say with this is that learning is not supposed to be easy.

I remember when I first started learning how to play lacrosse,

it's kind of like, basically it's kind of like this really long stick with the head

and uh you kind of have to put the ball inside the head

and you need to cradle it to uh move around

and stuff the first time i held the stick i didn't

know how to actually hold it i was like okay do

i hold it here do i hold it here like how

do i how do we even grab the head of the stick

and how do i even where do i even put the ball

that was the first thought that came into my mind

and i didn't know how to use it i didn't know how how to play lacrosse at all.

But over time, as I kept practicing and practicing my lacrosse skills,

I started to get better and better at the game.

And that's how you are supposed to learn.

It doesn't matter if you're learning a new sport.

This can literally be applied to studying a new subject.

So at first, if you start one chapter of A-level maths,

for example, and you're really,

really struggling that's completely okay that's not a problem

because learning is supposed to be a struggle

and that's how you actually learn which leads us to the second point

which is learning is just like a video game and

if it's not like a video game you're you're doing it wrong

because learning is supposed to be actually fun let me explain when you first start to play a video game right

you probably wouldn't go

and watch like 50 different tutorials on how to actually play

the video game no you would actually go into the game start playing the game die make mistakes

and actually have fun while playing the game it's the exact same with studying

and the mindset shift that i need you to make at the end of this video is

that learning through doing is the best way to learn.

Learning not through watching 50 different tutorials on YouTube

but learning through actually playing the video game is what's going

to give you the most results in the least amount of time.

So learning by doing makes learning fun.

When you learn by doing,

when you learn by, when you study by doing past papers and practice questions,

over time you start to become better and better at learning

and studying and

that makes you feel extremely confident it gives you this really big confidence boost where you know

that you can actually learn

and like understand the material now like you've already mastered the material

so you're not scared of it when you go into the exam

and it boosts your exam confidence by so much

so you need to be learning by doing by the way

if you want the full study system that I used to get three stars

and one A in my A levels and that I'm currently still using right now in university,

then you might want to check out my community.

It's linked down below.

It's called A Star Students.

It's basically this mentorship program where it helps students just like

you get better grades in less time through a proven step-by-step system.

So the last core learning principle that you absolutely must know is

that your brain is very very good at forgetting information not remembering forgetting information

so now i want you to imagine

that your brain is kind of like this glass container where there's like

so much holes inside it

and the water keeps flowing out continuously the water represents how much information you actually remember

when you're first exposed to the material so like

when you go to class and stuff so now what's actually scientifically happening is

that there's this thing called the forgetting curve where your brain actually loses information slowly actually not slowly

but very quickly over time

so within the first day let's say you go to class

on let's say you go to class on day zero right you go to class

and you learn the material and you think that you've learnt it

but actually after one day the amount of information that you remember drops all the way down to 50%.

And with our current levels of attention spans right now,

this information, the amount of information

that we actually remember probably drops all the way down to like 10% if I'm being completely honest.

So the only way to combat this forgetting curve is to repeatedly test ourselves over

So I'm going to draw two extra lines to kind of illustrate to you what I'm talking about.

When we test ourselves again,

like one day after we learn the material,

100

we bring the amount of information that we remember all the way up to 100%.

101

So testing actually brings the bar all the way up to the top.

102

And what you'll notice actually is that when you test yourself after spacing for one day,

103

the curve actually becomes like flatter and flatter.

104

So let's say you tested yourself on day one.

105

Then again, you tested yourself on day two,

106

then you tested yourself on day five or something.

107

What ends up happening is that the curve actually becomes flatter and flatter and flatter.

108

In other words, the gradient becomes flatter and it becomes a lot easier for you to put the information into long-term memory.

109

And that's what you want.

110

Long-term memory is super important.

111

You ever been into an exam and you see the question and you're just like,

112

oh okay I got this,

113

I completely understand this question already,

114

I already know how to do it,

115

I don't even have to think.

116

Well that's because your brain has gotten so good at memorizing the information

117

that it's stored in long-term memory and that's what you want on the exam

118

so from my personal experience the easiest way to implement space repetition is through this flashcard app called RemNote.

119

RemNote is honestly a such a good tool I can link it down in the description I'm not sponsored

120

or anything but it's honestly so so powerful

121

because it's this flash card app where it basically spaces all

122

the cards for you using this concept of the forgetting curve

123

so you literally have this all spaced out for you neatly the second thing

124

that you could also do is to create a revision calendar

125

now I have this revision calendar in my community a star students

126

but basically how it works is you schedule your revision days

127

out in advance like what subjects you're going to do and what you're going to actually study.

128

You do this in advance and what ends up happening is

129

that you get a clear big picture of what you're actually going to study in the next week

130

or two weeks or three weeks.

131

This is honestly so powerful if you're using this the days leading up to an exam

132

and automatically when you space your revision out using a revision calendar you're automatically using spaced repetition

133

so the second tip that I have for you to combat this leaky brain is

134

that you could use something called interleaving so this is what interleaving means

135

so I'm going to explain you you

136

so I'm going to explain to you what interleaving means in

137

a very easy to understand way let's say you have four chapters that you have to study for math.

138

What most schools would do is

139

that every single time they will go through each chapter they will ask you to practice questions from

140

that chapter and that chapter only.

141

That is a big mistake because what I found from reading tons of learning books is

142

that mixing these topics together is actually much more effective at helping you remember information long term.

143

So this is how I used to actually study.

144

So chapter one, I would do as many questions on chapter one as possible.

145

Then when we would jump to chapter two,

146

I would do only questions from chapter two.

147

Then I would just repeat that until I finished the entire syllabus.

148

Now I realize that that's actually not the best way to do it.

149

The best way, and this is according to science,

150

is that you mix and match these subjects all together so that when you're studying,

151

you're not only studying one subject or one topic at once.

152

So what it looks like is that the next time you do a study session,

153

you can weave in questions from multiple topics to kind of include in your overall study session.

154

So right now you're probably thinking if I need to understand this material,

155

I need to get mastery of each topic at a time.

156

But let me tell you,

157

that's actually a false belief.

158

You probably think that doing multiple topics at once is a bad idea.

159

But let me tell you,

160

yes, it seems like a really bad idea and that,

161

oh, you're going to be hopping from one topic to the other topic

162

and you'll know what you're going to do and like your brain's going be all scrambled and stuff.

163

That's actually a good thing because according to learning science,

164

when you mix multiple topics together at once and you try to do them,

165

instead of focusing on one topic at a time,

166

your brain actually makes connections between these topics.

167

So your brain literally makes so many different connections between these topics

168

and that's how you actually remember the information and put it into long-term memory much more easily.

169

So space repetition is kind of like a tool

170

that you can use to put information into long-term memory

171

but interleaving is another special tool that you can use to make sure

172

that whenever you test yourself you're actually maximizing the amount of information you remember.

173

So like this because what because realistically every single time we test ourselves what ends up happening is that

174

we don't really go up to 100% it's more like 60

175

or 70%

176

but I warn you though with this method you're going to

177

seem stupid at first you're going to think oh why can't I actually understand this

178

but over time I guarantee you the rewards are insanely insanely

179

high imagine you're trying to learn how to improve your shooting

180

ability in basketball interleaving is like going to multiple different parts of the court

181

and actually practicing shooting from many different parts of the basketball court

182

and that is probably going to increase your overall shooting ability much more than

183

if you just practice shooting free throws for example

184

so that's the three core learning principles that will literally help you learn anything

185

so fast that people think you're a genius I hope you got tons of value from this video

186

and as always may God guide us on the right path and I'll see you in the next video.

Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?

Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
