    Strategy 1: Study by listening<\/h2>\n

    \"Strategy<\/p>\n

    If you do not have enough time, audio learning is recommended.
    \n<\/br><\/p>\n

    What is audio learning?<\/h3>\n

    The following are examples of audio learning, that is, working on studying by listening.<\/p>\n

    \n \u30fblisten to a foreign language
    \n \u30fblisten to lectures
    \n \u30fblisten to what you recorded\n<\/p>\n

    These are the tips to improve your skills just by listening to the content you have.
    \nIf you make effective use of your portable devices such as tablet devices and smartphones, spare time may increase twice as much as you had before since mobile learning enables you to study wherever you are. Also, even when you are commuting to your office or on the way home, the time will be all yours for studying with your portable device. You do not need to sit down, nor take notes. All you do is just listening to your content while doing something.
    \n<\/br><\/p>\n

    Effects by audio learning<\/h3>\n

    As it turns out, it is difficult to say that just listening to content brings great results. \n
    That is because:<\/p>\n

    \n\u30fbA lot of unfamiliar terms make it difficult to understand the contents.
    \n\u30fbIf you continue to ignore what you don't understand, you'll never understand it.
    \n\u30fbIt's just a supplementary method of study.\n<\/p>\n



    \nHave you ever had an experience where you feel uncomfortable with technical terms in the new field? Or, struggling to understand foreign language? While listening to your content, it is possible that you have such difficulties in the same way. Continuing listening will not lead to great results if you do not understand the terms well because your focus is not the content but the unfamiliar parts.\nTherefore, for effective audio learning, it is recommended to understand the contents beforehand not to be distracted by unfamiliar terms.\n<\/p>\n



    \n<\/br><\/p>\n

    Tips for more effective audio learning<\/h3>\n

    Listening alone is not effective as explained above.
    \nHowever, knowing how to study by listening will bring better results if you know the tips. Read more about the introduction of three tips below.<\/p>\n

    1. Start at appropriate level<\/h4>\n

    Instead of difficult contents, start from what you can understand without a textbook or searching.
    \nIf you have difficulties in terms, you will not make it to acquire the knowledge.
    \nIt tends to make you motivated and focus on the content better when you start learning with easier parts especially for new fields. Remember to choose an appropriate level and step up little by little considering your improvement.
    \n
    <\/p>\n

    2. Focus on the content<\/h4>\n

    Confirm what you are studying through the content while making use of the audio learning.
    \nThis is because it helps you organize and understand the content in your mind.
    \nBy organizing a variety of information in your mind, it is easier to input and output. If your memories are saved as a short-term memory, your effort will be in vain because you are not able to utilize them when you need to.
    \nIn order to understand the contents, it is not enough just to listen to them. Try to focus on them as much as possible to deepen your knowledge.<\/p>\n

    3. Repeat input and output<\/h4>\n

    Now, take a look at the relationship between input and output.
    \nNo matter how much knowledge you input, it will not lead to achievements if you cannot output it.
    \nMemories are taken root in your brain by reviewing the information.<\/p>\n



    \n
    \nFor example, when your boss says a certain technical term that you are not familiar with, you ask him about it. This means you input the term into your brain. When you hear it next time, you understand it but you do not really remember it. You hear the term at your workplace often and after a while, you can come to say the term with your understanding.\nThis means you output it.
    \n
    \n<\/p>\n

    Experiences of output will lead to deeper comprehension. Try to output what you learn after audio learning.
    \nRepeat the same content at appropriate level over and over in addition to focusing on it while listening.
    \nThese tips will guide you to your goal even if you are busy working.
    \n<\/br><\/p>\n

    Strategy 2: Read a reference book<\/h2>\n

    \"Strategy<\/p>\n



    \n<\/br><\/p>\n

    When buying a reference book<\/h3>\n

    When you start studying, do you tend to buy a lot of reference books?
    \nThere are many attractive reference books and they all may look helpful for your study.
    \nHowever, there is nothing beneficial even if you buy many books.
    \nThe reasons are followings:<\/p>\n

    \n\u30fbYou may get satisfied just by buying books.
    \n\u30fbThey make you feel like you've studied enough.
    \n\u30fbThat could be a trigger for you to give up studying.\n<\/p>\n

    Why do you need to buy reference books?
    \nOf course, they are helpful if you use it effectively while studying. Such a book can be one of the good learning tools in that a lot of information is well-organized in each page.
    \nHowever, remember that buying them without a clear purpose will not work because most of them have similar contents. Choose one that you feel the best.
    \nWhat is the most effective way to study with reference books then?
    \nThe following are our suggestions.
    \n<\/br><\/p>\n

    Effective ways to use reference books<\/h3>\n

    Buying many reference books out of your needs does not work for the reasons above.
    \nHowever, there are recommended ways for your study making use of them.<\/p>\n

    \n\u30fbGrasp the whole of the content of the book.
    \n\u30fbReview and output the contents to deepen your understanding.\n<\/p>\n


    <\/p>\n

    1. Grasp the whole of the book<\/h4>\n

    First, read the book from the beginning to the end.
    \nThis is because it allows you to check the range of the contents you need or to find your weak points.
    \nOnce you know what the whole thing is about, your goal will be clear, which makes you more motivated.
    \nPut sticky notes or highlight the lines with a marker where you don't understand. This will help you to make it clear what you don't understand and emphasize the important points. Also, it will be a prompt to remind you of the terms or content later when you read the book again.
    \nMake your own reference book so that you can narrow down the key points.<\/p>\n

    2. Review and output the contents to deepen your understanding.<\/h4>\n

    It is impossible to grasp and memorize all the important points just by reading a reference book once.
    \nSo as to make the information in the book stay in your brain, review what you have learned over and over again and output it as audio learning.
    \nTalking about the spare time, however, you need to carry your book wherever you go. It may be a burden for you if it is heavy or thick. We have a suggestion to solve the problem meeting your needs.
