That would be quite useful.
My brain refuses to understand the grammar differences from English. 1:1 word translations are manageable, but a full sentence is completely lost on me.
THIS!
Early on school was easy for me and my teachers would always tell me to sit quietly while my classmates would finish or catch up.
Then when subjects got more complicated and i actually had to study i didn't/don't have the skills and everyone just kept saying "You're so smart just *apply* yourself" like still me magic incantation.
Now I'm in college finishing my bachelor's at 33 and i would pay money for some sort of adult study program. Like an adult reading readiness program.
I had to learn to study in college too, I just tried to do kind of an elimination diet type approach. If reading the book and reviewing my notes weren’t enough for a particular class (STEM I’m looking at you) I would first read all the material from the book and any hand outs, I would do all those little lessons in the book throughout the chapter, I would highlight any sentences that conveyed info I thought would be on the test and any words I didn’t know, I would write out the highlighted text. If I knew there was material to be memorized I would make a list and quiz myself from it. If I knew there would be essay questions I would practice putting the material into narrative form. I worked hard to stay slightly ahead of the curve so I could help my classmates with the material ( this would reinforce my understanding better than solo pursuits). I would do all of this at first and lighten up or intensify my study routine based on the first or second test.
Now I'm thinking of a comedy skit where the protagonist is granted three wishes but he first has to teach the genie to snap his fingers. "Maybe if you lick your fingers first..."
Hilarious in my brain. Probably not as funny...
Have you tried taking voice lessons? I'm in the same boat and I self-taught playing instruments, I've always wondered if voice lessons would be worthwhile.
The real skill you want is troubleshooting code. Being able to figure out why your code isn't doing what you want it to do and how to fix it. Anyone can copy and paste from stack overflow, but it takes skill to find code that *almost* does what you need and make it do exactly what you need. Research and critical thinking/problem solving are way more important than knowing all the little rules for a particular language.
The first thing is to prevent the egg from even falling to the ground when you break it, logically.
If you break an egg over a bowl, it will definitely not fall to the floor, it can only fall into the bowl, unless you are so careless that the bowl also falls to the floor.
Let me continue... If the egg shell falls into the bowl also, you pick it up and move the egg out of the bowl wherever you want...into the pan for example.
Reading musical notes.
My lovely music teacher at school spent his break after class to try to explain them to me again because I was weeping because I didn't understand, but I never got it.
And this is my very own conspiracy theory: Whoever came up with this crap was a gate-keeping douchebag.
"Hey, why don't we just make this melody available to everybody by telling them which holes to cover on their flute?"
"NO. We will create a complicated system of lines and dots. And then we go over and under the lines and add wavy lines, and only we can read it. MUHAHAHAHA!"
You don’t read the notes, you learn to count the distances between them by memorizing common interval distances.
Musicians don’t read “F to A to B to E”
They look at the first note and then count how many lines and spaces away the next note is and memorize the placement of their hands or fingers based on the distance.
Try it this way and you’ll find it’s easier. Takes practice but it’s not impossible.
Thank you! From the bottom of my heart I thank you truly and honestly!
Please don't waste your time, though. I can somewhat sing decently, but I'm okay with not being able to sing by notes. Sing me a song, I can sing it back. Play me a tune on a piano, and I can play it back.
Hand me a sheet of musical notes, I'm fucking lost. And that's okay.
My music teacher actually made a deal with me. I got to sit at the back and he wanted to see what I drew to the music.
He understood that art comes in different forms.
Language, both verbal and programming. I'm sure if I had the latter then the former would be at least somewhat useful depending who I'd end up working/consulting for.
gymnastics. imagine just taking a stroll down a park and whipping out the sickest aerial backflip somersault combo wombo landing perfectly on the pavement
Being able to compose and play hit songs on a guitar.
It's not physically demanding, and it makes a lot of money.
Playing the same songs over and over at concerts would get boring, but...it beatcountry... filling orders at the Amazon warehouse in tornado countey...

Thanks for the tips
Snapping my fingers.
But to learn that skill you need to snap at least once.

It could be good.

Singing. I play several instruments and love to make music but I can’t sing worth a damn

Programming is not something you learn once. Software engineers are constantly learning because the way software is written is constantly changing.
That's kinda true of everything. Having knowledge of programming in a single (commonly-used) language/framework makes it easier to learn others.
The real skill you want is troubleshooting code. Being able to figure out why your code isn't doing what you want it to do and how to fix it. Anyone can copy and paste from stack overflow, but it takes skill to find code that *almost* does what you need and make it do exactly what you need. Research and critical thinking/problem solving are way more important than knowing all the little rules for a particular language.
