What’s your best advice to help someone want to learn? (lemm.ee)

I would like to know of a community where I can post things that I write to myself. I’m not capable enough to make my own community yet, and I’ve got a lot to say.

My question, though, is about learning. What’s your single most essential defining piece of advice, to share the love of learning? To make someone who isn’t interested, interested?

Other than necessity, I guess. I hope that doesn’t just answer the question.

Let them learn by doing.

That is, don't have them try to sit down with a book and "learn". Get them to start a project and learn what they need to learn to complete it as they work on the project. (Maybe even work on the project with them.)

That said, it's probably beneficial to do "small"-ish projects while they're learning so they can get some quick wins early on.

But if they're not using what they're learning, they're going to forget it faster than they learn it.
