Although it might seem hard, starting to learn in
time will save you much stress and will leave you
time for improvement.

You will see how much easier it is to concentrate
on learning when having a tidy work desk with
all needed utensils within easy reach.

4. 3. Keep your mind clear!
Try to solve all problems that might keep you
distracted from concentrating on your work.

5. 4. Arrange study breaks!
When you get stuck in your thoughts at a certain
point, it is sometimes advisable to take short
study breaks. Afterwards, you might be able to
look at a problem from a different point of view.

6. 5. Eat healthy!
You have to prepare your body for all the energy
it takes to learn.

Having long time frames between study breaks
increases the chance of forgetting what you
learned.

Try to concentrate on your subject matter. Any
disturbance only causes longer learning times.

friends!
It’s not only lots of fun to learn with friends, but
is also a good way to check your learning
progress.

10. 9. Practice!
To review what you learned and practice it with
exercises will keep you from forgetting it.

11. 10. Use media!
Try to not only work with your paper and pencil,
but also to use different ways of learning. How
about recording your vocabulary or taking an
online quiz?
