I remember my mom when I was little she used to ask me did you do your homework? what did you read? I didn't go to school here I don't know, explain it to me. she would pretend that she doesn't know anything so I have the motivation to do my homework to explain her and teach her stuff. Of course, she did it on purpose. she was the one teaching me.

Being a med student i can give solid testimony that this is one of the most powerful techniques. I remember once during my vacations my youngest brother asking me to tell him what a seizure was. And i blurted the definition out, and he asked me can you please explain in it in simple language. And I did and at that point the realization dawned on me that my understanding of the topic solidified.

When my oldest son was just starting school, he had some problems with understanding quite a lot of stuff. he was too quick to say, "I don't get it." I got him to "teach it to the furniture," which meant that he had to learn it first. He got the idea and even imagined the furniture asking him questions. It really helped him get the idea that understanding sometimes takes a bit of work and thinking and that there was a purpose to learning. And speaking for myself (I'm a teacher) I've often had the experience of suddenly understanding something very powerfully when teaching it to others. Nice video.

Correction on the example - 25 + 9 = 34, so C would be 5.83. Bonus tip: Don't do math at midnight while also trying to pack for a 5am flight

When I tutored, one of the girls HATED studying... but she loved playing school, with her as the teacher. So we would let her 'teach' me the stuff we did last week as a way to review... she eventually created Independent Study Plans and homework packets for me to complete... oof

Here's another super-learning technique: study a subject in another language. I am an interpreter and I once had a long contract to interpret a class on factory maintenance for a Japanese trainer in an American factory. For preparation, I received the training textbooks in Japanese and read through them all. This was advanced engineering that I didn't even know how to talk about in English, but after studying it in Japanese and interpreting it, I got a really deep understanding of the contents that is still with me a year later.

I love imagine holding a TED-talk or a lecture for a school about what I just learned. I listen and read a lot of books about self improvment/finance and last, but not least, Story telling! Love lerning other people about all the amazing things I'm learning and imagine me holding this TED-talks and lectures really helps me retaining what I've learned! 😍💕

Unknowingly, I had been using this technique in my learning and teaching for some time. It really has to do with constantly asking questions of your knowledge / learning. It’s about breaking everything down to its simplest form, so that you can see it as simply and clearly as possible. It also has to do with combining and eliminating redundancies. As you do this, you actually begin to learn things in your own way or words. You see it more clearly because you now see it inside and out, you’re not fooling yourself, you own it. Think about teachers. If they don’t know what they’re teaching inside and out, how can they call themselves teachers?

Can you simplify the Feynman technique using the Feynman technique using the Feynman technique in an infinite loop?

Thank You so much. I'm a 72 y.o. Aussie and am so grateful for this ❤

I like how when he said "Can I watch Dragon Ball Z" Naruto showed up on the screen. Edit: Just realised the time stamp is 4:20
@words007
I dont think anybody shows the human curiosity more then Richard Feynman maybe Einstein or newton as well but seeing his interview and how happy he gets to even think of his thoughts trying to explain anything is just so childlike yet he is 60+ in that interview. Says it all. 😊
@apollinebarra4868
about the quote. A french famous dude, Nicolas Boileau-Despreau said "«Ce qui se conçoit bien s'énonce clairement» - «Et les mots pour le dire arrivent aisément.»What is well understood can be express clearly, and the words to say it easily come. He was inspired by Descartes and a intellectual movement during those years studying links between knowledge and language.
