Dear Learners,

Over the break, I got really into NBA basketball. I’ve begun watching Nuggets games, reading tons of articles, and poring over box scores.

And it’s reminded me what a pleasure it is to learn new things.

Learning a new thing is like plopping yourself down into an alien world where you have to figure out “the rules.” How does it work? What is most important? What does it mean to understand the place?

No matter what you’re learning about–basketball, earthquakes, Colorado history, rules of grammar, the internal combustion engine–the process of learning is the same.

Sincerely,

Mr. Heimbuck
