Times are constantly changing, and self-learning is becoming increasingly important alongside traditional schooling. Why is self-learning important? With its properties of autonomy and high intensity, and without the high costs of formal education, self-learning can help us keep up with the times. Today, I would like to introduce the book “Ultralearning: Master Hard Skills, Outsmart the Competition, and Accelerate Your Career” and explain what “ultralearning” is.
Below is a summary of the book, highlighting the nine principles of ultralearning.

What is meta-learning?
Session I:
Q1: Have you heard about meta-learning before? If not, please share what you learned from this article. If yes, please share your experience of using meta-learning for self-learning.
Q2: As an excellent English learner, like every Yoyo English member, do you think mastering English can help you learn other languages or skills faster? What are the key points to learning a new language?
Q3: Have you encountered bottlenecks in learning? How did you overcome them?
Q4: Feedback is crucial for learning. Do you have any experiences where good feedback made you better or bad feedback made you frustrated?

Session II:
This video is a brief summary of “Ultralearning” by the famous YouTuber 'Zoe Languages.' In addition to summarizing the book, it also includes fantastic personal experiences.
Q1: As mentioned in this video, shifting your mindset is important for learning. Do you believe that 'it's never too late to learn'? Do you have a growth mindset or a fixed mindset?
Q2: We all know focus is important for learning. However, we often procrastinate and get distracted. Have you heard about the Pomodoro Technique before? Please share your experience with staying focused.
Q3: Do you have any abilities you are proud of? Please share your learning process and techniques.
Q4: Do you have any plans to learn new things (e.g., languages, musical instruments)? If so, why do you want to learn them? Do you have the confidence to learn them well?
