Summary

    Feynman Learning Technique
    • The Feynman learning technique is effective for learning new topics, deepening understanding, or studying for exams.
    • Start by selecting a topic you want to understand and study it thoroughly.
    • Write about the topic as if teaching it to someone else, using both writing and speaking to identify gaps in understanding.
    • Simplify your language or use graphic analogies to make complex ideas clearer.
    • Repeat the process until you can explain the topic in simple language, indicating deep understanding.
    About Richard Feynman
    • Richard Feynman was a leading theoretical physicist known for his work in quantum electrodynamics.
    • He received a Nobel Prize and was known for encouraging simple explanations to test understanding.

    Feynman learning technique is effective full learning something new deepen your understanding of what you already know or helping you study for an exam the first step is to pick a topic you want to understand and start studying it.

    00:16

    once you know what it is about take a piece of paper and write about it as if you're teaching the idea to someone else ideally write and speak at the same time just as a teacher does it at the blackboard this makes you realize which part you understand and where you still have gaps

    00:36

    whenever you get stuck go back to study and repeat that process until you have explained the whole topic from start to end when you're done repeat the process from the beginning but this time simplify your language or

    00:51

    use a graphic analogy to make a point if your explanation ends up wordy or confusing you probably have not understood it well enough so you should start again thinking about an idea by explaining it makes this learning method very effective

    01:09

    once you can explain an idea in simple language you have deeply understood it and will remember it for a long time Richard Feynman was a leading theoretical physicist who received a Nobel Prize for his work in quantum electrodynamics

    01:27

    he was notorious for asking his fellow mathematicians to explain concepts in simple language to test their understanding thanks for watching also check out others Sprouts learning techniques as they can complement the methods explained in this video
