Key 1. Learning pyramid:

A pyramid model was developed by the National Training Laboratories Institute in the
early 1960s
Compared to taking a class or reading a textbook, learning through experience is more
effective, and the experience of teaching others is said to be the most effective way to
learn.
It’s interesting to note that teaching is more effective in learning than learning.

Key 2.The skills of 4+1:

Learning a language is said to require four skills. They are listening, speaking,
reading, and writing.

What is often forgotten here is to memorize vocabulary.

 
Increasing your vocabulary will make it much easier to speak.

Key 3. The Ebbinghaus Forgetting Curve:

The forgetting curve hypothesizes the decline of memory retention in time.
 
This curve shows how information is lost over time when there is no attempt to retain
it.
 
A typical graph of the forgetting curve purports to show that humans tend to halve
their memory of newly learned knowledge in a matter of days or weeks unless they
consciously review the learned material.
 
Regular review is effective!
