The importance of learning how to learn is ever-present in the academic world. Learning how to learn not only gives you an edge in the educational field, but also in the working world.
Academia refers to the study of any subject, be it a discipline, a domain of knowledge, or a specific area of expertise.
The word academia comes from ancient Greece, where the famous philosopher Plato founded a sacred temple called the Academy. Here, young people would come to study and he would teach them his philosophy.
Today, academia refers both to college and university studies and to the wider world of non-formal education. You can learn anything at any time in your life and consider yourself to be in academia.
This article will discuss some strategies for learning that can help you become a more effective learner.
Dormir
Sleeping is one of the most underrated Spanish words. You will hear this word a lot, so it’s important to understand its different uses.
Sleeping can refer to sleeping at a specific time. For example, “Ella siempre se va a dormir muy tarde.” (She always goes to sleep very late.)
You can also say “voy a dormir” to mean you are going to bed. This is used even if it is not bedtime, but you are tired.
The verb dormir can also mean to sleep (in general). For example, “Él duerme cuatro horas cada noche” (He sleeps four hours each night). This shows how important it is to get enough sleep!
Dormir can also mean to nap or take a siesta.
Morir
The word “morir” means to die. However, in Spanish, there are several verbs that mean to die.
You will learn about three of them in this article: morir, matar, and repetir. All of these words have different meanings and uses, so make sure you know which one your instructor wants you to use!
The verb “morir” is used when someone has a long illness and they finally give up. They literally “give death” what they want- their life. This is why it is used when describing someone dying.
It can also be used when someone is murdered or killed in a fight or war. It describes the act of killing someone, not the person who does the killing.

A key part of being a good student is knowing how to study. There are many different methods for studying, some better than others.
Some students like to read their material several times, believing that they will understand the material more deeply with each reading. This can be a good method if you do not understand the material on the first reading, but unfortunately, this is not always the case.
Reading the material more than once can also be wasteful time if you already understand it. The more times you read something, the less attention you pay to it, and then it is harder to remember it later.
Another common mistake is trying to memorize everything in a given amount of time. Trying to cram all of the information into your brain can backfire and end up hurting your understanding of the material.
Lo importante es el mensaje, no la figura del profesor
El aprendizaje del inglés es una tarea ardua, pero la mayoría de nosotros no somos maestros ni expertos en nuestro campo.
Como estudiantes avanzados, nosotros conocemos los fundamentos de la lengua inglesa y sabemos cómo manejarla.
Por lo tanto, el profesor no debe preocuparse por ser un experto en su materia, sino en transmitir el mensaje a sus alumnos.
Lo que importa es que tu mensaje llegue a tu audiencia y les haga reflexionar sobre él. Por ejemplo: “Los mejores profesores son los que te hacen pensar”.
El precio de la repetición
Repetir es el valor que se pide a cambio de facilitar la comprensión del idioma. Aquí, en la escuela, usted paga por repetir las lecciones hasta que entiende y aprende.
Para lograr un nivel avanzado de español, usted necesitará repetir lecciones muchas vezas. Esto suele ser desalentador, pero es fundamental para llegar al nivel que busca.
La repetición tiene un precio: tiempo. Usted necesitará dedicar tiempo a estudiar y reestudiar lo aprendido para superar los niveles de comprensión del idioma. Para algunos esto puede resultar desalentador.
Dormir bien para estudiar mejor
Let’s talk about studying for a moment. You can’t study well if you don’t sleep well. There are several reasons for this.
First, if you don’t get enough sleep, your attention and focus will be impaired. If you’re too tired to stay focused on what you’re studying, then you won’t learn anything.
Second, when you wake up feeling rested, it means that your sleep was deep enough. Sleep depth is when the parts of the brain that control certain functions — like keeping your heart rate steady or making you wake up — work properly.
If you don’t sleep deep enough, the next day you will feel less rested even if you slept for eight hours. Learning depends on this factor as well.
El valor de la vida
In a world where people are so busy and life seems to be going at a fast pace, the value of life is sometimes forgotten.
Many people are too busy thinking about their own lives and concerns to think about the lives of others. This is a very self-centered way to live and think, but it is common.
In our daily routines, we may not think about how important it is to get up in the morning and go to work or school. We may take this for granted because we have been doing it for so long.
We may not think about how important it is to eat nutritious foods and drink enough water. We may take these for granted because we are used to them.
We may not think about how important it is to exercise and take care of our health. We may take these for granted because we are used to exercising every day.

El aprender a estudiar es una de las cosas más importantes que puedes hacer en tu vida. Aprender a estudiar te ayudará a mejorar tus notas, tu autoestima y tu vida laboral.
Es muy común encontrar personas con bajos niveles de inteligencia, pero que sean muy buenos en algo concreto. Por ejemplo: sean muy buenos deportistas, o tengan un don especial para algo.
Para terminar, queremos recordarte que no importa cuánto sepas, si no lo demuestras en la práctica no tendrás éxito. No te preocupes por saber todo, sino por practicar todo lo que sabes para tener éxito.
