If you want to learn a language, you can pick up a book or get an app to start learning vocabulary.
Once you know some basic words, you can learn grammar and start putting together sentences.
You can use an app to master basic phrases before a visit to the country that speaks that language.
No matter how much vocabulary and grammar you learn from your books, once you take your language to native speakers you’ll likely find yourself in over your head.
No matter what language it is, the way native speakers speak it is different from how you’ll learn it from a book.
Give yourself a few weeks with the native speakers, however, and you’ll be fluent in no time.
No matter how much you absorb from books, there’s no substitute for actually speaking the language with native speakers.
The same is true for anything else you want to learn.
Want to learn how to deadlift? You can watch any of dozens of videos. But you won’t really learn how to deadlift until you’re holding a barbell in your hands.
You can read books or watch YouTube to learn how to change a tire, but you won’t master it until you actually do it yourself.
Even the best books and videos are no match for physical learning.
The best way to learn something is to put your body into it.
