Honestly, learning is a hard and confusing process, and finding a strategy that helps clear up some of the difficulties can be a crucial part of improving. However, finding a learning strategy that works for you, can be a real pain in the behind, especially when there so many strategies out there. Some strategies actually help, some can have no effect what so ever, and some strategies can make learning HARDER! Finding an appropriate strategy for you, will often take years, and even when you find a decent strategy, keep looking! There might be better ones out there! For me personally, I am experimenting with taking series of notes and then trying to summarize them in my own words as to get two understandings of them. But the most important thing with finding YOUR OWN learning strategy, is to never give up and not be afraid to take risks.
