Quotable: Michael Rosenthal
For the most part, adults learn skills through action and reflection. One can't learn to swim by simply reading a book or attending a lecture, despite the presenter's mastery of language, PowerPoint, or multimedia. Instead, the learner has to get in the water and practice. They refine their breathing and strokes by experiencing and correcting for coughing, sinking, and inefficiency. The same holds true for amost any skill improvement - it's how we learn.
