- If you want to cut your study time, using the Feynman Technique is a great way to do it. Named after the physicist Richard Feynman, it revolves around explaining a concept in simple language as if you were teaching it to someone else.
In this video, I'll show you exactly how to use the Feynman Technique.

I remember my mom when I was little she used to ask me did you do your homework? what did you read? I didn't go to school here I don't know, explain it to me. she would pretend that she doesn't know anything so I have the motivation to do my homework to explain her and teach her stuff. Of course, she did it on purpose. she was the one teaching me.

Best mom ever! I'm jealous!

1. Take a piece of paper and write the concept's name at the Top.
2. Explain the concept using Simple Language.
3. Identify problem areas, then go back to the sources to review.
4. Pinpoint any complicated terms and challenge yourself to simplify them.

"I was a normal person who studied hard" Richard Feynman.
just a normal person with intense fascination with how and why things work. i believe he has said in his book that the quality he had was that he never stopped until he solved a "puzzle"
Yes, it's true. He had an IQ of around 125 but is the one of the greatest physicists of all time.
Any successful academic will tell you, that there's no such thing as talent. It's all a matter of how you approach learning, and how important it is to you. Higher IQ doesn't mean you can learn more, only that you have a small head start in learning how to learn.
Katrina L Well actually I disagree with people who say talent doesn't exist. It does exist. People just take it for granted or they assume that talent is all you need. Hard work is what really puts talent to great use. Everyone possesses talent. Whether you work at it and how you work at it, is up to you.
It's not enough to be able to pick things up easily, you have to work hard too. Some people naturally learn faster or easier than others (of course there are factors that enables them to do so), but that doesn't mean they weren't hardworking. I believe Einstein was talented, but I also believe he was hardworking and devoted. So talent alone doesn't make anyone invincible or better. Even the average person can be a genius or have a high IQ.
People who have high IQs tend to learn different, which makes them naturally apt to learning than average people. But based on Psychology, if average people learn the way geniuses do, an average person's IQ would most likely increase.
I'm currently reading Moonwalking with Einstein. One key thing said in this book, the techniques used in improving memory are techniques that have come from studying those who were born doing things different. By figuring out how they do it, we can harness the power of these approaches. They had natural talent for memory. We can develop the talent through learning from them and then utilising the techniques.
back in the day electrics were simpler with discrete repairable parts compared to microchip heavy disposable modern electronic designs. my father repaired cars, tvs and radios in his neighborhood with no technical training throughout the 80s (academically he's an architect). nowdays he calls me every other day to help with with his new facebook and linkedin accounts on his smartphone for finding old friends. my old man just can't seem to wrap his head around the whole smartphone and social media thing while my 7 year old is zapping around ios and android better than even I can! I say this certainly NOT to take anything away from mr. feynman though. my observation is people from a certain time period seem to have an easy proficiency in technology of that same period. I'm good with electronics and computer but less good with smartphones and web app heavy 'smart' anything.
When I tutored, one of the girls HATED studying... but she loved playing school, with her as the teacher. So we would let her 'teach' me the stuff we did last week as a way to review... she eventually created Independent Study Plans and homework packets for me to complete... oof
Big oof
Not "oof" -- I would say "wow." This girl who hated studying could have easily become a mediocre student. But you gave her the space & the means to express her ability & creativity. You sound like an extraordinary teacher to me.

Textbooks can be wonderful, if they're written right. I just read the History of Polish Literature. It was all those things you mentioned, and I wish I didn't have to return it to the library. I read computer books all the time. They get a bad rap, usually by people who don't read them at all.
gendalfff pretty much..but in my class it's more like 99% self-education since my teacher hasn't got a clue what he's teaching. I always studied by my self, never paid any attention in class nd still managed to come first in my school. Btw I'm asian
Feynman was a Fine man
Nice one
👏👏👏
Haha dad
😂😂
😳
Fun fact: Feynman only had an IQ of 125, above average for sure but not a genius by any stretch. Yet he accomplished so much... shows that IQ isn't everything.
That's also the reason we don't hear his name much
He himself said that i was just a normal guy who worked hard and studied and studied and that is actually what i like about sir feynman
What did he achieve?
@@sayedmuqtda3774 he did achieve Nobel prize in physics (1965) , Albert Einstein Award (1954), he also leaving some legacy and write interesting books like The Meaning Of It All, The Pleasure Of Finding Things Out there's more but yeah that's some of it his achievement

Correction on the example - 25 + 9 = 34, so C would be 5.83.
Bonus tip: Don't do math at midnight while also trying to pack for a 5am flight
you should have done a 3-4 instead of a 3-5 so that you could quickly solve for the missing one, 5, as 3-4-5 is a triple
Good call - I think that's what I was intending to do, and once I accidentally wrote 5 my brain just went with it
Thomas Frank yeah that's what it looked like. Whatever though what's more important was the technique you discussed about learning! Great vid man keep it up :)

"A lesson taught is a lesson twice learned."
I used to tutor math to students who did not possess much talent for math. Having to explain, aloud, each concept and step helped me to tighten-up holes in my own understanding that I didn't even know existed beforehand.
you are very right
As a scientist I can assure you, that the best way to understand something is to try to explain it. Just walk into your colleague's office, start explaining your problem, and often enough, you stop mid-sentence, because you just solved it. To really grasp a new technique, include it in one of your courses, preferably with a student assignment on it, and your students will pester you, until you've understood it fully.
It isn't just scientists. I have also had the experience of suddenly knowing the answer to a question just by framing it with language.
Christer Samuelsson you're probably not a comma scientist, right? 😜
That's a curious aspect of our intelligence. I wonder what the brain does during a verbal explanation to somebody else that it can't accomplish in solitude? I conclude that the brain receives greater stimulation from somebody's presence even if that person says nothing beyond the of simplest social platitudes when you enter the room. It would be interesting to see if this phenomena is constant across the introversion-extroversion continuum (noting that an extrovert is somebody who gains energy from their environment and so may therefore be more likely to benefit from the presence of company)?
As someone who is in the middle (neither an introvert or an extrovert, can function as either), I think that it does not even matter if there is another person. Explaining something somehow sets it. If I imagine that I will soon be giving talk on something, the adrenalin would probably kick in and assists me.. I have not done this experimentally, but it seems that it would work as well if I imagine giving a speech as if I actually were about to give one. I will try this to see if I am right about it.
I think there are two parts to this:
Firstly, the act of explaining something verbally forces the brain to organize its data into a sequential order that is communicable with others. This in turn causes it to recall related concepts whose impact upon the initial understanding had not yet been considered fully.
Secondly, the ability to recall data is impacted by our energy levels. How the increase in energy is obtained is secondary to the fact of it. Speaking personally and as an introvert, the presence of other people inhibits my ability to think. On the other hand, others require a 'buzzing' environment to be able to work. John Von Neumann, the 20th century polymath and extrovert, used to play loud German march music in his office as he required an energized environment in which to work.

There are 2 kinds of teachers:1. Those with a desire for their students to learn;2. Those who wish to impress their students with how much they know.

The second one is why I never learned a thing in accounting

This would explain why some students progress while others get left behind. Simply put, if a student excels, other students rely on them to 'explain' things, creating a positive feedback loop.

Being a med student i can give solid testimony that this is one of the most powerful techniques. I remember once during my vacations my youngest brother asking me to tell him what a seizure was. And i blurted the definition out, and he asked me can you please explain in it in simple language. And I did and at that point the realization dawned on me that my understanding of the topic solidified.
of course, but you dont really have time to play like this if you have to learn fast for exams
but... but... the title says "how to learn faster..." XD
One of the major problems of medicine is reading medical papers impossible to understand. Sheesh, you'd think they could make it simple so that anyone could understand it. I get the feeling the authors don't understand it themselves and use medical jargon to make them look smart. With diseases like cancer heart disease and diabetes running rampant they definitely don't know what's going on.
Aye, I hear ya... but the problem with that is then the peer review board that are evaluating and analysing the paper may suspect the paper to be too simplistic and this may lead to lack in credibility. Hence why big terminologies are often used to indicate expertise.
I did a semester of technical writing and reports have to be really technical for peer review. There is a part where they have to use simple terms though. I think.
Back in college, my freshmen Electrical Engineering professor often reminded us about the importance of being competent, life-long learning, and "if you cannot teach what you have learned, then you do not truly understand it."

When my oldest son was just starting school, he had some problems with understanding quite a lot of stuff. he was too quick to say, "I don't get it." I got him to "teach it to the furniture," which meant that he had to learn it first. He got the idea and even imagined the furniture asking him questions. It really helped him get the idea that understanding sometimes takes a bit of work and thinking and that there was a purpose to learning.
And speaking for myself (I'm a teacher) I've often had the experience of suddenly understanding something very powerfully when teaching it to others.
Nice video.
Wow that technique sounds great! I'll try it out 😄😄

When I was in high school, my calculus teacher made us explain, in one neat document, all of the topics on the upcoming exam, due the day before the exam. It's no wonder I got a 5 (highest score) on the AP BC Calculus exam. She had us doing the Feynman Technique the entire year!
Well pat yourself on your back, Sanjay. Are you a millennial?

Haaaha dope bro🤓😎
Heh heh, some of my fellow math classmates asked "why" in class once.
The teacher said "just go with it, kay?"
The problem with me is that I ask "why" to everything so I take hours learning simple concepts because I go to the root of the problem...it's not exactly the best idea to study using that method
that's exactly what you should do
harkirat k same omg I get so frustrated
that is the exact reason why i always got left behind in my maths class.
nevee stop that. No reason to learn anything if you dont actually learn it. I got mentally stuck on calculus 1 in university and although im not fine with it, its better to understand some, than wing something you dont when its a matter of learning for the sake of learning
Yeah, it's a good technique to learn more in depth, not to learn faster

A lot of us use it intuitively on each other unaware of it being Feynman technique :D
Biology takes concepts to be memorized. "Concepts" is a wrong word, maybe say "Observations". ex. There are things in a cell, don't know why.. they just are there.

Thanks for this video Tim. Richard Feynman is one of my favourite scientists and I'm happy you did a video attributed to him. There's actually a great story in his book "Surely you're joking Mr. Feynman" where he talks about feeling stupid at a conference and having to use this very technique to read a scientific paper haha. I have a physics channel and plan to release a video next week about 3 inspiring stories about Richard Feynman, and will be sure to link to your video here for the people who still aren't convinced of his awesomeness :)
Peace be upon you .Thank you for your work, sister Is there any pdf version of the book "Surely you are joking Mr. Fyenmann".I found the physics book written by nobel laurette Mr.Richard Fyenmann which he used to teach freshmen at his University but could not find his autobiography.
Sorry I spelled the name of "Richard Fyenman" as "Richard Fyenmann".
N.B.: There are a few documentaries featuring Richard Fyenman sharing his knowledge and education he got from his life.And there is a facebook group featuring quotes of Richard Fyenman.Just like all the unsung/sung heroes of this world Richard Fyen man was a simple person who practiced good qualities and wanted to help people by his simple,honest and kind behaviour being cautious of making peace with his faults of his life like every other human being in the world .I have learned many things from him.Thank you Mr.Richard Fyenman:)
If I want to find all the good words in the dictionary in him I know insha allah I will find those in him as any other person in the world. What makes him different is the achievement of his lifelong effort but that is also not a pride for him as like anyone who loves to make other people happy .

This is the first time I have actually watched his video ,it's amazing in fact all about us is so so amazingly mysterious am just wonders tuck about everything happened,happening now and going to happen in future to contemplate and imagine our brains are not appropriately conditioned for our future generations there is need of teachers who will have different ways to look at things differently with such an AI systems upgrading so tremendously such pool of exerpatise is already taking shape
I lost you when you wrote 25+9=36😂
Dude, The example you copied from the internet had the digits 3,4 and 5. So it's 3^2 + 4^2 = 5^2
See the pinned comment ;)
Did. Thanks for making a video about the Feynman Technique
So nobody will talk about 25+9=36
uh oh...
Well I am a professor myself and I have been doing this inevitably for 6 years now but today I learnt the name of the technique. This method is literally the job profile of all educators.
Oddly, I've been using the technique of "teach" the subject to myself to learn it better for more than a decade, and had no idea that it had a name. However, I do see some points here that will make what I do even better. Thank you!
Can you please explain using the Feynman technique how that figure was a character from Dragon Ball Z
"There are no stupid question but for those the begin and end with the question 'Why'" -- Richard Feynman.
Better to ask how.
Unknowingly, I had been using this technique in my learning and teaching for some time. It really has to do with constantly asking questions of your knowledge / learning. It’s about breaking everything down to its simplest form, so that you can see it as simply and clearly as possible. It also has to do with combining and eliminating redundancies. As you do this, you actually begin to learn things in your own way or words. You see it more clearly because you now see it inside and out, you’re not fooling yourself, you own it. Think about teachers. If they don’t know what they’re teaching inside and out, how can they call themselves teachers?
@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?
The problem is we have to figure out the "why" by ourselves. our teachers don't explain it:(
Yeah. RUclipsrs for some reason explain it better than people in online class
I missed your videos!! :)
Yeah, i was wondering why he doesn't upload much videos lately
Que legal encontrar um brasileiro estudante de inglês aqui também :o. É realmente incrível podermos pesquisar qualquer conteúdo em inglês e compreender o que é dito, não é?

Here's another super-learning technique: study a subject in another language.
I am an interpreter and I once had a long contract to interpret a class on factory maintenance for a Japanese trainer in an American factory. For preparation, I received the training textbooks in Japanese and read through them all. This was advanced engineering that I didn't even know how to talk about in English, but after studying it in Japanese and interpreting it, I got a really deep understanding of the contents that is still with me a year later.
Feynman was AWESOME. He even came to my dreams and taught me Physics. 🥰😘
Ok

Explanation: The figurine is from Naruto, not Dragon Ball Z
Nobody cares?
Maybe some do. But mostly people(who are familiar with both shows) just find it silly when someone uses a show as an example and fails by displaying a character from a completely different show. I mean... why wouldn't he just use something he himself is familiar with, something that's still popular and/or meaningful enough to get the point across? So mostly we facepalm a bit but yeah... I don't really give a fuck, I just found it stupid and kinda funny. :D

OMG I ALMOST DIED IN CLASS
I'm pretty sure it's intentional. He's just as geeky as anyone here.
Hahahahahahah😂
"Richard Feynman, who was, in his own right, a..."
I expected you to say "a fine man".
Feynman's technique study time depends on the difficulty of the problem, and your understanding of how Feynman would say "the framework" of the whole concept. Just keep that in mind whoever reads this.
Nice video, thanks! (Note: 3, 4, 5 is a pythagorean triple; 3, 5, 6 -- used in your example -- is not. 25 + 9 = 34, and √34 ≠ 6)

I find it not only helps me understand and ensure that I grasped what I just read, but it also helps me remember what I just read by going over it a second time.
@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?
This looks like a great method which I will try - thank you. However, your answer to the Pythagorean question is incorrect, You rightly squared the 5 and 3 to get 25 and 9. However, when you added them together you got 36. The correct answer is of course 34, which when you square root it gives 5.83 (2dp).
Call it laziness but this could be as short and simple as those of 2-minute videos. (Feynman) 😏
That's not using the Feynman technique.
A variation on the idea that the best way to learn something is to teach it. Thirty some years ago, in the Army, I was the Company Training NCO and was tasked with teaching a class on the Southeast Asian poisonous Salmusa (a snake), or the Mamushi as the Koreans called it. I still remember everything I taught in that class.
@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?
can you do video on holistic learning.
4:20 *cough* Naruto Uzumaki is in Dragon Ball Z? Hmm, interesting.
Edward Cortez yea don't you remember that episode??????
All my trolling aside - there's actually a One Piece/DBZ/Toriko cross over episode that exists. Not Naruto, but it's a pretty fun episode.
Edward Cortez illumiati confirmed
Thomas Frank Yes it was!
I feel as though I use this technique through what I currently study and attempt to teach. I get good responses from my students as I’m always trying to explain in the most simplified/ relatable way. Subscribed 😊
This is great advice. I love the "Why" part.
Video Starts at 2:30 lol
Not all heroes wear capes
Jordan joseph thank you!!!!!!
Thx bro.
Jordan joseph you may deprive people from knowing about one of the greatest scientists.
jordan you are stupid ..knowing richard feynman is more important than the video itself ..
is nobody gonna comment on the fact that in 4.20 he said "can i go watch dragon ball Z" yet the image that appears is from Naruto?
about the quote. A french famous dude, Nicolas Boileau-Despreau said "«Ce qui se conçoit bien s'énonce clairement» - «Et les mots pour le dire arrivent aisément.»What is well understood can be express clearly, and the words to say it easily come. He was inspired by Descartes and a intellectual movement during those years studying links between knowledge and language.
One of my favorite teachers told me once "You don't really learn/understand something until you teach it".
"what is well conceived is clearly stated and the words to say it come easily". This is the real sentence. It was not Einstein but french philosopher/poet and Boileau (1636-1711).
You just put a name to my favourite method of study.Overall a great video,interestingly worded and informative.
Back when I was in primary school I used to study what I learned and teach it to my mum and I didn’t realise I was doing it. It just came to me automatically and as a kid I never even knew it was a commonly used study technique. Watching this video made me remember how I used to do that instinctively to help me remember which is pretty cool 😂 but now because I’ve grown up I usually just study in my room and not talk to anybody so it just stopped. I should try to do that again but using Feynman technique
This technique worked well for me. I used to travel for work. Many boring hours on the road. I would sometimes have a subject I knew somewhat but not perfectly. I would explain this subject to the guy in the other seat in the van. (I drove alone). I was frequently amazed at how the concept would become clear after explaining it. How Transistors work, angle of attack of an aircraft wing etc. etc.
this is circular..you actually needed to have a good understanding imn order to simplify it and explain it..by just explaining it you dont get a better understanding, you only get to discover voids in your understanding
great talk ... I loved it. I've found that explaining things is indeed the best way to really consolidate your own knowledge not least because students ask you questions from angles you didn't think of and you need to answer them.
Being able to explain things simply is of course the purpose of forcing a research student to phrase a simple research question (making their question clear in their mind) as well as to write an abstract (making their findings succinct).
I would add that being able to formulate appropriate metaphors for a problem (any problem) to explain to a non technical person is a skill worth working on.
Lastly ... I think its a bit of an understatement to say Feynman "contributed to" the development of Feynman Diagrams ... they are essentially his own work as I understood it
Could anybody tell me how to stop procrastinating in Feynman technique?

Topic: *PROCRASTINATING*
Simply Language: It’s a habit that gets ingrained into a mind set, which a person starts favoring over time by delaying any task and/or actions intentionally pushing the project to the most critical time possible in the hopes of getting it done then. It’s a difference of wanting to something even if there may not be any enjoyment in doing it.
Doing a science project that’s been scheduled a month in advance or doing a book report, they would choose the book report even though the science project is in priority number one.
Even though it may exist in the back of their mind building pressure like a volcano in motion, they will seamlessly transform themselves into thinking everything’s fine, and start doing projects they normally otherwise wouldn’t have done in the given instance. An example of this situation would be like of a person needing to clean their flooded basement, instead you would see them cleaning other parts of their home or cleaning out the fridge.
You know what, I should have plenty of time to come and get this done later on, so hang on tight buddy. There’s always tomorrow! Take care for now.
Watch "how to stop screwing yourself over" by mel robbins
Perhaps if e.g. for each Ch u write 1-2 pgs, you wld then use them as revision guides on the exam's night.. instead of studying all of the Ch.'s Notes
*_Reward yourself for not procrastinating and make the reward lavish enough to make you want to get the object of your procrastination out of the way by doing it._*
Repeat as often as possible until _not_ procrastinating becomes a habit. Habit is very powerful.
Here's a personal example: I tried to quit smoking about five times over a couple of years but I had been smoking for about 45 years, so making a success of it was something I was procrastinating about because I didn't want to do it. Then I had this idea: every payday, take the money I would have spent on cigarettes out of my cheque in real dollars and put it in my pocket. That came first before anything else was done with the pay. I literally paid myself in real dollars in my pocket and that money was for ME! I could spend it on anything I wanted. I was already spending that money on smoking anyway so there was no loss in paying myself to not smoke. It added up to a really nice chunk of change in my pocket every payday that was mine to do what I wanted to do with it. Soon that reward began to overpower the desire to smoke because I could spend it on literally anything I wanted that pleased me. I quit smoking in about three months. No cold turkey or gum or patches, just a nice reward each payday.
What I did was overcome the procrastination by giving myself something I wanted even more than not doing what I kept putting off, quitting smoking. One day I walked out of the house and left my smokes on the counter and didn't notice. When I did notice, I didn't care. That was the day I realized I had quit smoking.
To reinforce the solution I kept paying myself to not smoke even after I had quit for several months and then after a while it didn't matter and I stopped paying myself somewhere along the line and that didn't matter to me either because there were other things I could use that money for now. I paid myself to develop the habit of not smoking.
Habit is very powerful. ;- )
@@deltavee2 wow very well said! ❤
It really helped.. thanks a lot and have a great day🤗
This is brilliant! I’m definitely going to factor this into my study sessions.
"You don't have to be working on math or physics to use this technique."
Like this comment if you ARE actually using this to try and pass calculus or physics.
Yeah for college chem and calculus😭😭😭
I think this makes sense because in order to explain something to someone else your brain gotta organize information in a logical and objective structure so the other person will be able to truly get the point . This means you need to use your language properly and also understand that one matter you re talking about in its most deep details. Well, the doubt I want to put here is: this method seems pretty good to get your high school graduation going on, but don t you guys think that if one decides to write down every single college (for instance) subject in order to apply the Feynman technique one would need an absurdly high quantity of time?
Paulo Rossato sleep less.
Exactly what I was thinking . This would take me ages in med school!
Paulo Rossato MP
You definitely would need a lot of time. Most people with overall good grades don't do that, which is why they are counterintuitively capable of acing so many subjects. They don't understand them to any appreciable depth, though, which you notice as soon as you ask questions.

Great video Thomas. Your series of videos are a tour de force. They are always exceptionally useful and well-crafted. Congratulations.
In your sample calculation, you add 9+25, but you don't get 34. This elementary mistake reduces the effect of your good explanation.
