I am almost at my 20th hour of watching TEDx talks and I have to say I AM getting pretty good at this.
+James Benton Ticer Hahaha... This really cracked me up.
+James Benton Ticer lol! I am at my 100th hour of browsing unrelated RUclips videos and I am proficient.
Good stuff bro. Keep it up!
+James Benton Ticer Are you APPLYING the information in the talks though? Knowledge without application is actually a waste of time where as Knowledge + Application = Power
+Jon White I think you missed the joke.
"The main barrier is not intellectual -- it's EMOTIONAL." Amen to that.
I love that ❤
Yeah that line resonated with me. I’ve caught myself stopping things early because I hated not feeling adept at something immediately. I needed this
What is emotion?

**THE FIRST 20 HOURS - HOW TO LEARN ANYTHING**
1. Deconstruct the skill:
- decide exactly what you want to be able to do when you're done, and then look into the skill and break it down into smaller pieces.
2. Learn enough to self correct:
- learn just enough that you can actually practice and self correct or self edit as you practice.
3. Remove barriers to practice:
- remove the distractions that are keeping you from practicing.
4. Practice for at least 20 hours:
- by pre-committing to practicing whatever it is that you want to do for at least 20 hours, you will be able to overcome initial frustration barrier and stick with the practice long enough to actually reap the rewards.
5. The major barrier's not intellectual, it's emotional.
thanks!
Not all the skills can be divided into pieces.
What skills are you talking about??
Thnx
@@manda_o_pix yes, every skill can be divided

This ted talk is worth 100 books read, and 100 movies watched on self-improvement. It's rare to find such an influential video. Kudos to all of you who ended up watching this!
❤❤❤❤❤❤ I know right! Thank you
Nah it's not that much
4 simple steps to “Rapid Skill acquisition” are:
1- Deconstruct the skill and decide exactly what you would be able to do by breaking down the skill into smaller pieces
2- Learn enough to self correct
(Learn enough part of the skill which you can practice and self correct)
3- Remove practice barriers (distractions) by utilising a little will power
4- Practice at least 20 hours
20hour Rules
- Deconstruct the skill
- Learn enough to self-correct
-Remove practice barriers
-Practice at least 20hours

Thanks to you sir. I come back to write this 3 months (- +) after i watched this video. When i was learning english, i've tried to memorize all the words and vocab as much as possible, but after months i still can't speak or even give a comment in youtube or instagram post in english. After watched this video i realize, i don't need all the words in oxford dictionary to start speaking, like that ukelele chords, know some important words is enough for you to speak in foreign language, and that's what i do now.
Great!
You are the greatest example that this works. Thanks mate
congratulations! I'm a native speaker of Chinese and English is my second language. I have a hard time in learning it due to the tradition way of teaching in my school. how I wish all my teacher watch Ted (there is no Ted back then). I found another good way to learn English let me share with u. don't try to remember words as it is very discouraged. instead try read the books /newspaper that is your level. your level means in one page there is no more than 10 unknown words to u. and dun hurry to search the meaning of every single words u duno. just guess the meaning and move on. if u feel happy just look up for 1 - 2 words u find interesting. that's my way of learning. just sharing 😊👍
@@danielliew2192 I am a 17 y.o girl. I just watched this Video because I got struggle in learning chinese, I really liked to learn chinese but, I found it hard to study and understand the 8000+ words, in Chinese there are so many kind of tones of words that we used to speak in dialogue and I was like I'm getting tired, and close to giving up. But I don't think I can quit because I really want to be a native speaker in Chinese XD and I'm here asking you for some tricks to learn Chinese XD

Well, actually, this assumtion could realy be applied to any part of our life! From breaking ups with the love ones to hardship at workplace!
Indeed! Great speach!
Years and years later, this talk is still incredible!!!
I really believe in everything he has just said. It is important to avoid procrastination guys. I am telling you this because of my life experience. I moved to Canada when I was 20 years old and my life has changed completely. I was studying computer engineering in my home country and was about to complete my 3rd year when my mother took the decision to move to Canada. It was really difficult at the beginning because of the language and culture. My knowledge about English was probably between 30% and 45%, so I had to invest part of time studying English. I proposed to myself that I had to learn the language at a university level in 1 year, and it worked. I still need improvements, but I feel really proud of myself because I was able to learn the language. After having learned English, I applied to University of Toronto to study Computer Science, and since the semester was going to start on September of the following year, I took that year to study everything about my career. I took my time to study advanced functions, calculus, physics and programming. What do I mean about all of this? You can learn everything you want if you really want to. The crucial part of all of this is to believe that you can do it. I personally do not believe in what the science says about the "SPECIAL KIDS". We all are smart beings that have the same capacities to learn everything we want. You can do it guys if you are willing to take the effort. I hope you have a great day and I wish you all the best ☺️. NEVER GIVE UP.
Thank for your sharing
I don't know you but. I feel so goooood. When I

I rarely study except for when I have a serious exam to write. Due to not being in a habit of studying and being a tiny bit gifted at learning new things, I often remind myself the barrier is not intellectual, it’s rather emotional and it always helps. Thank you for your time teacher.
Omg, me too! So true! I'm grateful for this video and the speaker 🙏🏾😊
The best, most exciting, most practical, most fascinating Ted talk that I continue to come back to you again and again. Read the book multiple times, applied it to everything from learning a new language to fixing up my house, to now developing my skills as a ham radio operator.
1. Deconstruct the skill. Decide what you exactly want to do with skill and break the skill, practice the most important skills.
2. Learn enough to correct yourself. Practice just enough to notice when you do mistakes and get on the right path.
3. Remove the distractions. Disable notifications and remove all the distractions.
4. Practice at least 20 hours. Try to do 20 hours of deliberate practice. Stick with it no matter what.
Additional:- The major barrier to skill acquisition isn't an intellectual one, but it's emotional.
Thanks, for resume! 😊
Thanks a bunch. You're my hero!
So he's the guy who sends his assignment in the class group after completing with no intention of return from anyone. Legend!! ♥
congratulation, now you can give a perfect ted talk
thanks a lot
1. Deconstruct the skill.
2. Learn enough to self-correct.
3. Remove practice barriers.
4. Practice at least 20 hours.
Man, you are great!!!!!! Loved your ted talk!
Nice. I got to save listening to this ego maniac.
Thanks, I've been listening to this specific video for six years. Thanks for the sum up. the guy is great though.
Yes, but he broke the first rule of TED talks, he gave actionable advice.
You spoiled it for me tnx
The sum up is why it's worth it to check the comments. Thanks!
TEDx events offer a platform for voices that might otherwise go unheard. It's heartening to see organizers and speakers coming together to share their stories and ideas with the world.
I enjoyed listening! You are a great instructor: organized, responsive, humorous, and able to clearly explain complex topics and nuances. Words are powerless to express my gratitude to you. I thank you from the bottom of my heart
1. Deconstruct the skill
2. Learn enough to self-correct (looking for too much material or learn too much is a kind of procrastinate)
3. Remove practice barriers
4. Practice at least 20 hours
Good boy
Thanks for the summary! You just saved me 20 minutes to put towards my 20 hours to learn a new skill! lol
Thanks. I hope you do not mind of I copy your comment.
@@daveojeda Sadly people that have this "Give me results now" are the very ones that plato much quicker than others and mostly give up and/or never achive their goal
New years res. area great example of this
If sitting down for a 20 minute video on how to change your life is to much, i do NOT feel the problem is time for you but more on focus and realistic achivements
Could you elaborate on the 2nd point?
Summary: Just 20 hours is enough to become “reasonably good” at any skill.
1. Deconstruct the skill - Break the skill down into its most basic parts. Which parts are necessary for hitting the goal you have? (i.e. if your goal is to sing a song in Korean, you can primarily focus on pronunciation, not learning a bunch of vocabulary)
2. Learn enough to self correct - Learn enough to realize when you're making mistakes.
3. Remove barriers to practice - Turn off your phone, unplug the TV. Put your guitar, piano, language book in the middle of your room, not behind your stack of dirty laundry.
4. Practice for at least 20 hours - Commit to 20 hours from the start. You're going to be frustrated at times, so committing beforehand will help you push through the frustration.

QuickTalks this is scary bc im trying to learn korean bc im a denial koreaboo omg
Thank you ✌️👍
I'm implicitly amazed at the final point that he referred to the barrier is up to emotional. Frankly, I've been that guy who is at the risk of being criticised for ignorance in some subjects. But as i see sense that's no longer a matter, it's just up to my pessimistic emotion, I might have a good deal strength to move forwards. Thanks him for sharing such a sense of perspective ❤️❤️
I appreciate your time and your lesson you bring to us ! Thank you.

Confirmed.

+RookieN08 wow.. that was amazing.. teach me too XD
The only thing I could read is: My name is Putin, how are you doing?
+RookieN08 CSGO is quite the teacher as well.
I was always better than my classmates in speaking english, but I wasn't well enough to able to speak properly or understand completely. Then one day one thought came up and I've decided to be as better as I can in speaking english. Now, I've been practicing english for almost 1 year. At least 20 minutes a day. That's 20 minutes made me way better english speaker than I was before. When I saw this video I wanted to share my experience. Guys, I watched this video without any subtitle and understood every single words thanks to my 20 minutes efforts a day. I achieved this level without any partner or course. Although I'm still not that good enough and you can find lots of errors I've made in my comment, I know that I'm gonna be better day by day and eventually achieve my goal. Whatever you wanna learn, just believe in yourself and practice at least 20 minutes a day. Good luck.
Way to go, Burak!

Pankaj Kumar thank you pal, i’m pretty sure that you will achieve your goal.

The reason why this TED talk has garnered over 20 mn views is that it gives a very strong hope to most of us who despair silently.
So true
I feel the same too.
Despair can be overwhelming.
You should have English-Vietnamese bilingual subtitles
Actually, I think the reason it's so popular is that it gives people who don't want to do any work one more reason to sit and stare at a screen while doing nothing.
I spent several hours trying to learn Russian...
In that 2 or 3 hours, I learned to read Russian and a few greetings.
I can now read Russian, but not understand everything and put together sentences and my dictionary is very small. On that first 2 hours, I learned about as much Russian as I did Greek on my first day of Greek school. The difference with learning Greek is that my family speaks Greek. When I started learning German in school, I spent about 45 minutes a day learning German with other people. With Russian, I don't know many people who speak Russian. ( I know 2...not that I have much contact with them). If I can do it, chances are so can most people. You just gotta have the motivation. I started learning German because I took an interest in World War II. After becoming fairly competent in German, I decided to learn Russian. You just gotta have the drive.
JUST DO IT! DON'T LET YOUR DREAMS BE DREAMS!
George Bizos Agreed because somebody could spend 10,000 hours studying but text every 5mins also its how you learn the subject. My mom is a graduate from Harvard and her biggest lesson to me was willpower can overcome lack of talent and lack of intelligence. Its crazy because we all have 24hours in a day its how you spend those hours.
George Bizos Dude buy CSGO on steam. And start playing some competetive. ANd you will speak fluent russian in like 2 days....
CrazyGamerZ4G ggwp true story
George Bizos Russian is a diificult language.Желаю удачи и большого терпения в нелегком труде.
Its not as difficult considering i know Greek.
Thanks so much! This is so true. When I was 13 I really wanted to learn the guitar, and three months with daily working at it the way they tried to teach it in school got me nowhere. 2 years later I tried again with a totally different approach, basically just having fun with it and not being afraid of making mistakes but learning from them and 6 months later I was in a good band playing the lead guitar. No one expects you to learn anything by doing it right from the beginning anyway so just dive into it, make some mistakes and have fun. Learning rocks!
Absolutely brilliant. Everything said was spot on. Anyone can start to achieve any goal with just a little practice and motivation and leaving the fear behind. Use fear as a focus to achieve your goal, not to prevent it.
Remove Distractions

"The major barrier to skill acquisition isn't intellectual...it's EMOTIONAL." Thank you Josh👏
Absolutely agree .. emotion is tied to memory ..
I came across Joshes book at my local library the other day and had to nab it, it's just by coincidence that I found this video. He's absolutely spot on though. Everyone thinks they don't have time to do X, but it's because they're usually spending their time doing things that don't help them grow. Feel free to watch an hour of Netflix or binge a show, but just do something productive for 30-60 minutes and make that a reward you get. Being disciplined doesn't mean you can't enjoy those things, in fact, being disciplined means you can enjoy more of those things because now you've created more time.
I'm starting my cybersecurity journey and hopefully 2-5 years from now I'd come back here having achieved something I can be proud of
You promised yourself this, don't give up ♥️
Me too… will be circling back!
The brain is a beautiful machine, this guy showed a really good strategy on how to use it but it's still up to you to learn whatever you wanna learn. Good luck everyone, i wish all of your dreams to become true!

The major barrier's not intellectual, it's emotional.
Ln.
Totally true, learning process requires motivation in order to be efective.
No, its not. The major barrier in leaning anything is finding someone that can put it in term simple enough to understand. Ninety nine percent of those books are written so badly that you leave as clueless as when you came in.Thing is, you've got to read through all of them before you can find the one that makes what you want to learn make sense. Only a very small group of people know how to do this. And even smaller group knows how to make learning interesting.
@@krane15 I agree with this, but perhaps the fact that you are reading those books, and that you're a part of that small group that knows how to make learning interesting, means that you have already passed the emotional barrier. Most people don't have the interest or motivation to seek out that knowledge in the first place.
I don't think you're wrong, I think you're awesome.
But maybe you've been awesome for so long that you've forgotten the challenges that prevent non-awesome people from being awesome?
@@AaronAtkinson When you said motivation you struck a never. In my entire time in HS I don't recall a single teacher that went above and beyond to teach. They did the minimum to meet their requirements, but no more, and no less. Well, maybe sometimes less. In any event, if the student got it, fine. If they didn't, it was their tough luck.
In college, I had a total of two professors that went above and beyond the call of duty to help me and other student to pas tests and succeed. What I mean is they did things like coming in on their days off to give students individual tutelage on parts they found difficult, and helping the surmount other administrative challenges that would get in the way of their studies. I guess I would categorize that on removing all distractions. But that's easier said than done. Some distractions are under your control, others are not. Eliminating all distractions takes time and can be draining.
Anyway, I know this isn't exactly on topic, but your post reminded me, and it is closely related nonetheless. They say you can learn anything on youtube. Thing is. you have to watch 10 hours of useless videos to get to that one that put things in terms that you can understand. Can you then say you learned how to grow radishes in 1 hour? What becomes of that 10 hours of video where you learned next to nothing?
Nevertheless, I appreciate the compliment, but I wouldn't call myself awesome. Rather, I say I was aware -- of some of the difficulties in learning a new skills, and so can often recognize and focus on getting around those difficulties. When the author claims 20 hours it takes for granted that all the time is productive, and ignores the time it takes to get through all the useless material to get to that actual leaning point. A structured learning environment removes much of that effort, but not necessarily all of it.
Of course the true definition of learning has always bothered me as well. Is memorizing learning? If you don't understand what the nomenclature or what the jargon means, knowing the definition won't help you much. On the other hand, you can always memorize a passage and get it right, but that doesn't mean you understand it. If an instructor puts it in the right words you can learn something new instantly. When they don't, or can't, they can repeat it a million times and it still won't resonate or have any real meaning. I offer my most challenging example: A linear equation is an equation in the form y = mx + b. Maybe its ridiculously clear to some folks (a left brain/right brain thing?), but it wasn't to me. At least, not at the time.
Cliffs:
1) Part of learning is teaching, and teachers can be good or really, really bad.
2) Only a small percentage of teachers go beyond the minimum required to teach.
3) Total study time is not always relate to total learning time.
4) Comfortable learning environments vary, and can sometimes be difficult to achieve.
5) Memorizing material may not be considered the same as learning it.
This gives me a lot of motivation to learn new things. Recently, I decided to learn guitar, and I made it. Even though I just can play some simple songs but it really breaks my comfort zone cause I haven't ever thought that I can play guitar before. Thank you so much!
Guitar is a lot of fun and hard at first but eventually it feels kind of natural and you'll start to fiddle around with new things too
I totally agree this point is that sometimes the barries which prevent us to do something is emotions. Honestly, there are something not difficult but our hesitant and thinking too much will extend ours fear for something, so that’s the reason why we say the first step is the most difficult. We just need to teke the first step and then we can ealily forward over the life. Cheers🎉❤❤❤

A lot of comments here are disappointing to read. The man shared with us a golden rule to learn and become decent at a new skill. He even specified you won't become an expert, you will become decent. That's the whole point of the video. He wanted to break the misconception of the 10,000 hour rule and encourage people to learn a subject they have been wanted to address and that it is not impossible, it takes 20 hours and you will have learned the basics and that it is do-able even if your schedule is tight. ''lolz then why isnt erryone a doctor ??? shit ted talk lmao !!1'' you missed the point
Dugimeister yes, you are right this people need 10 thousand hours of listening and comprehension he clearly stated "not a master"
Dugimeister you're totally right.
that's it you are a maneuver helped me from a jeopardy
Agreed. But it is the internet =b You can't expect everyone to actually pay attention and comprehend everything lol. This is really helpful information, and very encouraging for a multipontentialite like myself. (if that word sounds crazy... its another TED talk)
Were talking about the RUclips comments section here what do you expect, personally I took the lesson and I'm gonna apply it to my life so if everyone else misses the point that's not my problem ya know
My first TED TALK watched in 2023. This is amazing.
I'm learning English and I've watched this video to practice and it was amazing words to motivate people who are learning something new.
"There's something funky going on here" - yeah! It doesn't take 10,000 hours to learn a new skill, it takes 10,000 hours to aquire MASTERY of a new skill. MASTERY. We're not talking how to ride a bike, we're talking how to win the Tour de France!

How you conveyed to learn new thing in 20 hours is really brilliant. Nicely done!!
This is quite simple as Josh put it. Why have I all these years been told by instructors to do this and that, and they kept on putting doubts in my mind day after day. When it isn't intellectual as I thought, but emotional. That was the secret sauce I never new about that prevented my wanting to take on several new challenges, because I thought I was smart enough. This could be the pitfall for many students today, not knowing Josh's simple concept.
practice 20 hours to get good at something
9:30 =>
1. Deconstruct the skill
2. Learn enough to self-correct
3. Remove practice barriers
4. Practice at least 20 hours
5. Commit to the 20 hours (if you can't then pick something would commit to).

This video is NOT about becoming successful.
He said you can learn something new in 20 hours, not become successful.
*Pay attention!*

If there is one take away, It definitely should be “The major barrier to skill acquisition isn't intellectual, it's emotional." It just like exercise, the mental barrier is much harder overcome than the physical obstacle. Let's face the fear and get it done folks !

I loved this TED Talk!!!! What an excellent presentation and highly applicable topic ☺
Dear Josh Kaufman,
I wanted to express my utmost admiration and sincere love to you. Your work as an author and educator has had a profound impact on my life. Through your books and inspiring speeches, you have shared your knowledge and experiences in a way that has allowed me to grow and thrive.
Your passion for learning and your willingness to help others acquire practical skills are a constant source of inspiration for me. Thanks to you, I have learned to approach each new experience with curiosity and determination, understanding that learning is a continuous journey.
The way you have transformed your own experience of becoming a parent into a new perspective on learning is truly remarkable. It shows how open you are to the lessons that life offers us and how committed you are to sharing these teachings generously.
I thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything you do. Your love for learning and your ability to teach with kindness and clarity make you an extraordinary individual. I wish you all the happiness and success you deserve, both professionally and personally.
With all my love and gratitude,
Started watching tedtalks weekly and my life drastically improved from all the things I’ve learned here. I wish teachers in school are like this.
We needed to learn a little more about life and practical skills at school! The school system is so broken :(
@@AlineAzevedo13 thing is, majority of teachers are more concerned about getting passed the curriculum as efficient as possible. I dont blame them that much tho. In america, teachers are just not paid enough. The best teachers tho look outside the box and improve the students foundation with videos like this, and ultimately, become mote efficient at getting through the course.
@@AlineAzevedo13 Yup. Schools teach students very little to succeed. Students have to deal with unnecessary and uninterested Assignments. As a school graduate myself, I have no idea how to invest money, save money, do taxes, manage expenses, what to do with my first paycheck, know about life, and things like that😕😔. I don't even know why I went to college for.
Teachers in university are very similar to this actually tbh this reminds me of one the teachers at harvard in the computer science course.
more or less health teachers
His personality made this TED Talk a hundred folds more interesting. Thank you!
True very good personable speaker
Yep
Even though this video have been posted before 10yrs still the vibe and impactfulness remains the same as it is✨
Oh my... The major barrier is emotional... This is so true... I've been practicing chess for a few weeks now and I'm currently in the frustration moat... I keep losing and making mistakes I shouldn't and the fear of failing or losing keeps creeping up on me when I want to play....
With a renewed mindset and watching you play one of my favorite instrument as good as that,I believe that I can be good in Chess... I'm going to go back and put in more 20hrs over and over again till I get good!
I spent 20 hours on learning Chinese and then I realized that Chinese is not hard like I have ever thought about. And know, it is about 4 months since I started to study this language, I got HSK2. Thank u very much!
Cảm ơn chia sẻ của cậu, mình sẽ bắt đầu học tiếng Trung!
Learnt the language but didnt learn what its called. Interesting
@@vinodrawat-kw6oc what a sad person you are
加油朋友, 中文确实没有这么难！
@@afen5252 well you got that part right
I learned ukulele in 20 hours. This thing works........and today is my 27 day of learning ukulele . I did it
Now do programming😄
What is ukulele?
@@shakeelahmed2994 a small guitar
you do not learn to play ukulele , you just learn 10 3 chords songs
@kittykitty montero
In 20 hours you can learn HTML and CSS and make decent looking web pages.
Or you can learn how to make simple algorythms
Or you can learn how to make a simple mobile app
You actually can learn a lot of things in 20hours of programming.
"Programming" is a really large topic, but if you focus on one thing in particular you can get usable results :P
Oh my god. I really love his voice.
I mean that I'm a Vietnamese.
So clear... 💙
outstanding performance for 20 hours learning Ukulele. And that cute lovely song amuses me as well, you might get attention by dozens of ladies when you performs it this way. How truly marvellous author are
70,000 hours into sleep, I am a grand master of sleeping
You should be on the TED TALKS, I saw a guy yawning in this talk!!!
I got insomnia. Can't even do that right.
Lukas you might have some tough competition 😂
Lol. 😂😂😂
😂🤣🤣👍
19 years old, but still not good at sleeping. I'm sure I even passed the expert requirement of 10000 hours by far.
ditto
+Chris Mentalist well, from birth you slept well inside the 20 hour mark.. so, technically you "learned how" to sleep before the time limit........................ poop
Overqualified..
+Chris Mentalist Keep trying bro, never back down, it may take a lifetime, but I'm sure you'll achieve the perfect sleep.
I had same problem when until turned 21, that's when you ll start getting tired af at the end of the day...how it was for me
I've watched this talk several times and never get tired of it. Starting the ukulele tomorrow.
listning to what u said was really cool and u know what ? by watching this video i just started my 20 hours for improving my english...... thanks to u and all the people who try to give us ways how to learn things and how to find ourselves .
This video reminds me of when I was learning Italian language. I got the most spoken verbs of Italian language on Google and I learned them very well so I could have a basic conversation with Italians. That was the start for me and within a month I could speak the language much better than I thought: it was just like the Pareto rule because I chose the 20% that mattered most to keep a basic conversation.
Hey man! I’m still struggling learning it. Any tips? Thanks
@@Bladebrian are u still struggling?
@@Bladebrian just learn how to say porcoddio. the rest will follow
So cool to find this comment when I'm just starting my journey on learning Italian! Glad to here that. This comment was 7 months ago, may I ask if you're still at it?
I'm brazilian. I'm trying to learn english but it's very difficult
Me wanting to become super smart and learn everything:
Also me: *watches a million Ted talks instead of actually trying to learn*
same.
dont put yourself down boy.
pay attention , learn to learn as you learn .
Madyson Ramkowsky you might be joking, but just do something. Doesn’t matter what that thing is as long it’s something you find somewhat interesting
I learn english with Ted video
Relatable (:
I spent a month learning how to play the intro to wish you were here on a guitar, and I accomplished making my wife and five children hate the most wonderful song in the world
Pessoas como esse homem, me fazem continuar acreditando na humanidade. Após o evento da internet comecei amar o povo estado-unidense, antes eu achava todos insensíveis e frios: não são. São pessoas como todas as pessoas do mundo. ❤
Ótimo ensinamento
10:30 - 11:15 is the life changing quote for me. Trying to be a perfectionist at everything and eventually procrastinating is the thing that I'm doing over these years. Thank you 💖
how did you type the time
@@cat-oz4pe just type it and it will be linkable
You're a wholesome person
My problem is that i get so bored and jittery when tryna learn something it's like i can't focus
@@limo9402 Boredom is inevitable at first but you gonna feel excited when you start mastering your thing... remember that you will feel worst before starting feel better
Im a English and Japanese learner, and I couldn't agree more with this video. The biggest barrier which obstructs you is emotional--'Im afraid of failure, Im afraid that what I've done wont work ect.'
So just keep doing it, keep practicing, keep learning. And finally, you'll achieve your goals.
bro no it takes 20 hours alone to learn kanji, i have gone insane now i literally learn kanji everyday, i have no life now.
Agree. Just keep doing it, and you will find you are there suddenly.
@@kanjifreak420i learned kanji by learning the words in context. learning the 120 ways to read 生 will get you nowhere if the book, tv show, etc. you’re reading only uses the readings なま and いきる. learn stuff in the context of words! it will be less stressful and more intuitive that way. a lot of native stuff doesn’t require knowledge of kanji anyway, and a lot more uses ふりがな! good luck kanjifreak.
@@sejcai thanks I'll try it.
This video made me want to learn Japanese again , I would start learning Japanese by learning from books designed for schools, they would slowly teach you grammar rules and a couple of business words are how to greet someone .
I would quickly get bored and after a couple of weeks quit.
But that's the thing the books I was using were designed to teach business men , they focus on grammar because it's an easy subject to grade on tests.
But I don't care about any of that.
What I need is the most important elements, that will make it easy for me to understand general Japanese .
I'm still going to use those books but I'm not going to make them the central focus of my learning.
19 minutes that give me hope, spirit & education about life, so touching me thank you sir 👏
Meus parabéns, esse foi o melhor vídeo que ja assisti. Cara você esta de parabéns.
Prometo a todos que ainda essa semana, irei colocar em pratica as minhas primeiras 24 horas, e quando eu atingir as 10 mil horas, voltarei e contarei como foi minha caminhada.
how was your trip
I am in the midst of a career change. After 24 years as a doctor, I am training to become an airline pilot. I have accumulated 10 hours of flight so far, and I’m starting to see myself soar.
Wow... great for your explosive change.👍 congratulations.
So beautiful!!!!!!!!❤️
Well done sir! A real master at Work! More power to ya!
Doctor and pilot? You sir, are epic!!!!
진짜 멋있어요!!! 우와...
10,000 hours to master a new skill - watch it !
20 hours to be reasonably good at something - IF you apply 4 steps :
1. Deconstruct skill - start with the most important parts first
2. Learn enough to self-correct
3. Remove practice barriers/distractions - TV, internet
4. Practice minimum 20 hours - the barrier here is the frustration that comes from the lack of knowledge : we suck and we know it. Doing 20h might seem short, but intense focus is actually hard to maintain, because of emotional junk.
The major barrier to skill acquisition is not intellectual - it’s emotional.
Thanks Tsunami
We need guys like you more
thankyou
To describe this TED Talk in one word - Beautiful.
I myself enjoy this speech. I cannot put it better myself then you! I totally agree with your mostly with the 20 hours time to learn something new. I want to share my experience with you. I stared learning Italian language. I learn daily 10-20 Minutes for a week this means almost one hour! And in the end of this week I knew how to introduce myself in Italian and the alphabet and numbers, and to ask a lot of questions. So it’s not deepending on how long you learn something is more about HOW you learn and if you are totally focusing on it or not.
Hello dear, how are you doing?
LOL, It's true, we only need 20hours to good at something
Just remember how you pass your highschool, studying a subject the night before
Are you implying you have to be good at something to graduate high school? Lol. Good one.
@@danm2084 no. no one is saying that
let's not exaggerate: 20 hours does not get you good, in 20 hours you can barely do a passable job. Sorry, but the ukulele playing was pretty lame, IMO. In reality, we have to decide on our goals and our desired level of achievement. It is good to have this reference point. So, for any of us, the truth lies somewhere between 20 and 10K hours.
@@juhanleemet hour does not matter , how you learn does
@@shivrajsingh4715 pretty much this, could take someone 9 thousand hours to find out how to learn and practice effectively and then the last 1 thousand hours is them doing that process to become the master. Or it could take them 5 thousand hours to learn how to learn that skill -- thats how I look at it since everyone learns things differently
9:49 Deconstruct the Skill.
10:33: Learn Enough to Self Correct
11:23 Remove Practice Barriers
11:47 Practice at least 20 hours
18:37 "The major barrier to skill acquisition isn't intellectual...it's emotional"
Thank you TEDx Talk and Josh Kaufman
10:59 "Learn just enough that you can actually practice and self correct" I find this quote to be extremely powerful. My problem is I want to finish the whole course or book before I start practicing anything and I never viewed that as a form of procrastination.
I just watched this vid. It rings true 10 years later. I look at my life. After putting in about 45 minutes of something (per day for a month), I can say I learned how to do it.
This made me look at what could be considered failures. They weren't such. They were feedback. Plus showed me how on point my intuition was. All I needed was some practice. I was confident with time that I would get good.
I did not want to use 20 hours on a real skill. So I decided to use the advice to learn how to play FIFA 16. And damn, this advice works. Am now so good at it. I will try something more valuable now.
Same
Jmdeleeuw point is this - why would you want to learn something that is "less fun" according to you? If you are genuinely interested, the fun element is a non-factor. The 20 hour rule holds
shashank bharadwaj let me say this the fun element is a factor,if you are going to spent 20 hours on learning a skill and no more it being fun makes it easier,but if your going to spent 20 years on a skill the fun element is a motivation factor.
20hour Rules
- Deconstruct the skill
- Learn enough to self-correct
-Remove practice barriers
-Practice at least 20hours
Thank you RUclips for recommending me & Thank you TEDx Talks too. I have learned a lot here.
Grateful to all !!
My friend, do you have any good tickets that you can recommend to me?
What are practice barriers?
@@dianag4163 distractions like tiktok etc
Even though this video have been posted before 10yrs still the vibe and impactfulness remains the same as it is
What an amazing talk, I really agree with you sir, I always consider myself a Fast learner but with this tips I´ll be unstoppable!
sound useful. mainly cover 4 tips: 1st is deconstruct the skill(9:49); 2nd is learn enough to self correct(10:56);3rd is remove the practice barrier(11:20); the last one is practice at least 20 HOURS(12:25). Good tips which need to verify. thanks for sharing the idea!
