Learning is even more fun if it’s related to your practical needs.

Rather than just absorbing knowledge, you create something real.

you can see the results of your learning. You have something to show for all the effort you put in learning.

your goal is to accomplish the project, you won’t waste your time with irrelevant things.

It gives you quantified results.

Fitness,

In fact, teaching what you learn to others is a great way to improve your own understanding and mastery. Amity, I love your idea of mastering transferable skills. Those are the kind of skills that give you high ROI. By the way, that's a very good project you have. Jake, Seems like we have similar style in learning programming languages :) I agree that the more you learn the easier it becomes. Learning itself is a skill that gets better the more you practice it. Claus,

I've found that the more you learn, the easier it becomes. I do enjoy project based learning. When I learned Visual Basic coding I made a couple of simple games out of it. Similarly when I was becomming interested in screenwriting I decided to take what I was learning and made a website out of it. That really helped my retention of knowledge.
