有不少方法可以提升你的整体学习力和速度。这里，大家将给你6条提示，帮你更快更好地学习。学会以下方法可以使你下次遇见困境时不再胆怯。
1. Find a Suitable Environment
1.找一个适合的环境
An environment creates atmosphere, and an atmosphere changes the world from one end to the other —including our learning experience. That’s not to say that there’s only one ideal environment that is considered the best for learning. We all respond to each environment differently, for the better or the worse.
环境创造环境，环境会有非常大的影响——包含大家的学习心得。这并非说，只有一种理想的学习环境是最好的。每种环境对大家的影响都是不一样的，有的更好有的更坏。
2. Write it Down
2.写下学习内容
You have been reading through the material, over and over again, for over 45 minutes, when finally you say “Oh! I think I got it!”.
你可能过去一遍又一遍地阅读材料，超越45分钟，你终于说“我想我了解了!”
You ponder on whether you should write it down for yourself, and then you finally conclude: “It’s okay, there’s no way I can forget it now…!”. And with that, you flip the page and continue onto the next subject.
你犹豫是不是将这类内容写下来，然后你最后得出结论:“没事的，我目前不会忘记的…!“。于是你翻过这一页继续到下一个话题。
The next morning you wake up and get ready to head out to class. The exam is handed to you and your eyes land on a single question —the one you were preparing for yesterday. You scratch your head and realize…nothing. Everything is gone. So you attempt an answer and hope for the best.
第二天早上你醒来，筹备去上课。试题交给你然后你的双眼落在一个问题上——你昨天筹备的问题上。你抓你的头发意识到……什么都没。所有都消失了。你尝试自己写一个答案，怀抱最好的期望。
It happens to us all, and there’s one conclusion that can be made. If you want to learn faster, to memorize a concept without going through the material over and over again, you should write down notes of what you just learned, preferably by hand. When you do that, this gives your brain a chance to rehearse what you just learned and help it really sink in.
这样的情况可能发生在大家所有人的身上，可以有一个结论。假如你想学得更快，不需要一遍一遍阅读材料来记住一个定义，你最好是写下刚学习的内容手。当你做到这一点，这叫你的大脑有一个机会来输出你学习的内容，并帮你真正理解。
3. Association of Ideas
3.联想
In order to learn, particularly something long and complicated, you are always advised to use every tool at your disposal. One of these tools is Mental Associations. All you have to do is to link new gathered information to information that you already have.
为了学习内容，尤其是需要长期学习的复杂的内容，你总被推荐使用一些工具。这类工具之一，是心理联想。你所要做的是将新的信息和你已经了解的信息联系起来。
For example, if you consider red an “urgent”or “important”color, you can mark new information that you consider critical with it in your mind. Another example would be to use rhymes for memorizing or even creating a chronological story in your mind. The more you practice, the better you will be at it, making it easier for you to learn new information.
比如，假如你觉得红色表示“紧急”或“要紧”，你可以将你觉得关键的信息用红色标记起来。另一个例子是用押韵来记忆，甚至在头脑中创造一个故事。你训练的越多你就会愈加善于，也更便于你学习新信息。
4.Read…A Lot
4.很多阅读
It is not strange that a person who reads on a regular basis will also be quicker to read through and understand difficult material than a person who doesn’t share that same habit. The reason for it is that the more you read, the easier it is for you to absorb written information.
和较少阅读的人相比，一个按期阅读的人会更快地阅读和理解较为困难的材料。缘由是你读得越多，你就越容易吸收文字信息。
5.Make Practical Use of What You Learn
5.训练用你学习的内容
Like everything in life, you do not truly know something until you put it to practical work. You can’t be a doctor just by going through the books, no matter how many times you do it. Want to master the German language? Go live in Germany for a year and communicate with locals using only your rusty German.
就像你日常的其他事物一样，直到你将学习到的东西运用到实质工作中，你才能真正理解。只不过通过书本学习并不可以叫你成为一名大夫，不管你书读了多少次。你想学会德语吗?那就用生涩的德语去德国居住并与当地人交流吧。
In order to truly learn something, you will always need to go out there and utilize that new absorbed information.
因此为了真正学到一些东西，你需要吸收和运用新的信息。
6.Learn in a Way That Works For You
6.选择适合我们的学习技巧
There are several ways of learning, or to be more exact, several learning modalities. They go by visual, auditory, reading/writing, and tactile learning. Each of us is more comfortable with some over the others.
学习技巧或学习模式有非常多种。通过视觉、听觉、读/写和触觉学习。大家每一个人都有相对适合的办法。
Visual learners will prefer visual presentations of the material, either in the form of graphs, pictures, or watching demonstrations.
视觉学习者会更喜欢可视化的演示材料，譬如图表的形式、图片、或者观看展示。
Auditory learners will prefer lectures, audiobooks, podcasts, and even interviews.
听觉学习者会喜欢讲坛、有声读物、播客甚至访谈形式。
Reading/Writing learners will prefer to read the information and write down notes for themselves.
读/写学习者倾向于自己读信息并且写笔记。
Tactile learners will learn best from practicing the material with their own hands.
触觉学习者最高效学习方法是亲自训练学习资料。
Adjust yourself to one of these learning modalities and you will find a vast improvement in your progress.
调整我们的学习技巧，你会发现你会获得非常大的进步。
