高效自學外語6個的秘訣（3）

Cover the same ground from different angles.
第三步：從不同的角度學習同一個知識點。

Your brain is struggling to form patterns to cope with new input from your learning activities. Sometimes, no matter how long you focus on one subject, your brain is not going to pick it up. If you are stuck, move on. Then cover the same general information from a different source, a different book, or a podcast, or an online lecture or a video. Try to become a grazing learner, roaming the countryside, rather than a feedlot learner, just standing there in one spot, munching on the same bale of hay. The broader your base, the easier it is to learn. Just as the “rich get richer”, the more you know, the more you can learn.

在新知識的學習過程中，你的大腦會通過固有模式來接受新的知識點。有的時候，不管花多長時間對著一個科目，你就是記不住它。如果卡在這種時候，就略過它。跟著從其他的信息來源：比如不同的書籍、播客、線上課程或視頻來重新學習同一個知識點。試著把自己變成一個“放養(yǎng)”的學習者——在知識的草原上四處周游；而不是“圈養(yǎng)”的學習者——只站在一個點上學習，反復(fù)咀嚼一個知識點。看地越廣、就能學的輕松。就像是“有錢的更有錢”的道理那樣，你知道的越多、就能學的越多。
