8种方法教你快速掌握新技能，你get√了吗？

1. Deconstruct

解构拆分

   Break the skill that you are desiring to learn down into little pieces and master an isolated portion. The small pieces will come together to make up the whole skill. For example, learning to play the guitar, learn how to press down a chord pattern with your fingers first without even trying to strum the chord. Once you are able to change between a couple of chord patterns, then add the strumming.

   把你想学的技能拆分成小块，一小块一小块地去学习去掌握这门技能。小块技能叠加在一起构成一门完整技能。例如，学弹吉他，先练习弹一个和弦，不要一开始就学扫弦技巧。练习到来回自如切换两个和弦的程度了，再加入吉他扫弦的技能练习。

2. Pareto Principle

帕累托原则/二八定律

   Identify the 20% work that will give you 80% of the results. In learning a language it does not take long to realize that there are a few very new words that pop up over and over again. You can do a quick search for “most commonly used French words” for example and begin to learn them first before adding on the rest.

   要分辨出那些能给你八成回报的二成付出。在学习一门语言的过程中，你很快就会意识到，有一些新词是会经常出现的。例如你可以快速搜索“最常用法语单词”这个词条，在学习其他新词之前，先学习这些常用词。

3. Make Stakes (not steaks)

下赌注

   Establish and implement some sort of punishment for you in not learning the skill that you are seeking. There are sites available that allow you to make a donation toward a charity you absolutely hate if you do not meet your goals. Place a bet with a friend to light that fire under your bottom.

  对于自己正在学习的技能，如果不坚持下去，要制定并实施某种惩罚措施来监督自己。有的网站允许你向慈善机构捐款，如果没达到目标就去捐款吧。通过和朋友打赌的方式也能激发自己的学习潜能。

4. Record Yourself

自录视频

   Seeing yourself on video is a great way to learn from your mistake and identify areas that you need to improve. This is very effective for any musicians, actors, speakers, performers, and dancers.

   在视频中审视自己是从错误中学习的一个很不错的方式，确定需要改进的地方。这对任何一名音乐家、演员、演讲者、演出者和舞者都是一种非常有效的方法。

5. Join a Group

加入小组学习

There are huge benefits to learning in a group. Not only are you able to learn from others but you’ll be encouraged to make progress together. Whether it is a chess club, a mastermind group, or an online meet-up group, get connected with other like-minded individuals.

   小组学习方式大有好处。你不仅能向他人学习，而且还能相互鼓励一起进步。无论是国际象棋俱乐部还是一个策划小组，又或是在线集会小组，都要与志同道合的人来往。

6. Time Travel

时光穿越

   Visit the Library. Although everything is becoming more and more online, there are still such things called libraries. Whether it is a municipal library or your university library, you will be amazed at some of the books available there that are not accessible online. Specifically search out the hidden treasures and wisdom contained in the really old books.

   去图书馆学习。虽然在线资料越来越多，别忘了还有图书馆的存在。不管是市图书馆还是大学图书馆，你都会惊奇地发现一些网络上无法获得书籍。特别记得要在真正的古书中寻找出隐藏的珍宝和智慧。

7. Be a Chameleon

做个变色龙

   Imitate your biggest idol. Watch a video and learn from seeing someone else do it. Mimic what you see. Visual learning is a great way to speed up the learning process. Youtube has thousands of videos on almost every topic available.

  模仿你最崇拜的偶像；看视频学着模仿别人；模仿你所看的。视觉学习是加速学习过程的一个很好的方法。Youtube视频网站上每一个主题几乎都有成千上万个视频。

8. F.O.C.U.S.

集中精力高度专注

   Follow one course until success! It is easy to get distracted, to throw in the towel, or to become interested in the next great thing and ditch what you initially set out to do. Simply focus on the one new skill at hand until you get it done.

   坚持学一门技能课程直到成功为止！学一门技能很容易分心、认输，或对别的事感兴趣，终忘初心、半途而废。只专注于手头上的这一门新技能，直到你掌握了这门技能为止。
