        Engineering: projects Languages: talking to people, reading, studying Dance: going to classes It's always learn by doing with some supporting work, but what that means varies by skill.

        All have a place: skill-by-skill is best for the actual *learning*, but (carefully chosen) projects are great for practicing and situating the new skill, themes provide interest, and a Big Hairy Audacious Goal provides motivation.

        Play, winds up being "skill by skill" *via* really tiny "learning projects". Learn each skill by doing projects that yield fast feedback; make sure that each thing is big enough to *yield* some feedback.https://twitter.com/fiddlemath/status/1207421978568581120 …

        1. We refer to many apparently different activities as "play" -- play a game, play an instrument, playing around, play the fool, play someone *for* a fool. This is not a coincidence; we use the same word because the underlying structures are deeply related.
