  1. I read the study tips and I will do that take many mini breaks. Also I will have a list with the things I want to do. Finally, I will hear the lesson before I read it.

  2. I believe that the best way to learn is by reading it out loud or recording your voice on tape and then hearing it again and again and again until you feel like you have learnt it!
