>>1257913>Try to knock things out in one fell swoopI know it is quite common for students to struggle until it just clicks and everything suddenly works. But it does not work for everyone.
I was only able to make a consistent progress when I was concentrating on a single thing, getting this thing to a stage when it becomes automatic and require minimum effort and only then start with the next thing.
Keeping that in mind it is important to pick an instructor which is right for you. Some students learn best when under stress and being yelled at (like me), others must feel relaxed to be able to learn something.
