Hi, my name is Max Reinhold Jahnke. I'm 34, and I'm a mathematician from São Carlos, Brazil. The main reason I'm here is to write about my hobbies and connect with new people. I love #mathematics, #reading, #writing, #learning foreign #languages, watching TV shows, and playing video games.

I'm a post-doctoral researcher at the Federal University of São Carlos, and my research field is Partial Differential Equations. I will stop here because I don't want to scare anyone.

I usually read science, fiction, and fantasy. My favorite authors are H.P. Lovecraft, G.R.R. Martin, and V.S. Vinge. Now I'm reading the series The Expansion, and I'm loving it.

As I said, I like to learn foreign languages. Some years ago, I studied a little #Esperanto, but I didn't reach a high level. I can read the Esperanto Wikipedia and some news in Esperanto, but can't speak the language.

I'm always learning. Usually, it is mathematics and languages, but I also like to learn about other cultures, science, and technology. Most recently, I began learning how to bake bread, my main interest is in #baking #sourdough.

Hi everyone,
I am Aaditi. I am from India and under the recent circumstances of Twitter being over controlling and stuff, I decided to come over here. I am a student interested in almost everything related to learning. I value knowledge a lot and wants to learn more about the world and what it carries.
I hope to have a good time here!
Thank you.

Thanks for hosting @freemo.

I'm going to use this account for keeping track of my learning, to complement the theme of qoto.org. Hopefully with that usage it might even be my Mastodon main.

Gonna start my first post with this article I came across on Quora, despite my slight distaste of the monetisation the platform has tread towards:

https://medium.com/better-marketing/how-to-actually-learn-a-skill-from-a-book-e72261fcae70

The article is suggesting the use of handwriting a particular lesson 100 times, before experimenting and learning from it.

I was born and raised in Hong Kong until 15. The way we learn Chinese (a language evolved from pictures, so instead of memorising 26 alphabets that you string together, you memorise >1k different shapes) was largely rote learning - recite a chapter until you can do it from memory, handwrite a chapter 100 times. If you were naughty at school, handwrite a chapter 100 times more.

Sounds daunting and ineffective in Western standards, and I didn't like it, but it did have its merit. Even more so if you care about what you are learning.

The article used copywriting as an example of the learning subject. Since I'm learning programming, I wonder how I'm gonna do this - handwrite code 100 times? Handwrite explanation of algorithms 100 times? I do love handwriting so any excuse to get my pen flowing is a good excuse.

Making #decisions in face of incomplete information is an important #life skill.

Every situation requires acting on probable outcomes with incomplete knowledge of the factors or the #consequences.

In moments like these, games like #mafia or #tripleagent (Play store, proprietary) help teach the skill.

The #learning cycle is usually of 10-15 mins with clear instructions to trust no one but with the implied condition of cooperating to win.

I love this game and want to explore it more.

Ok ...🤨

Feynman technique - a simple and powerful way to rapidly learn and retain new concepts.

1. Write down the name of concept you're trying to learn.

2. Explain it in plain English, as if you were teaching it to a new student.

3. Identify things you couldn't explain well, re-read the source material and research them. Try explaining again until these knowledge gaps are gone.

4. Simplify your explanation, get rid of technical terms and use simple analogies. ELI5.

The thing most #anarchist s and even #syndicalists get wrong about the #spanish #civil #war / #revolution is, that the important thing to learn from it is less between 1936-39 (beside there are tons of material to learn from). The most important thing to learn is, that it was a #learning #process of more than 70 years until it happenend (and they did try earlier a lot of times).
