The big idea: how the protege effect' can help you learn almost anything
Briefly

"We learn more effectively when we teach someone else about the topic we've just explored even if that person doesn't really exist."
"The principle of learning by teaching was pioneered in the early 1980s by Jean-Pol Martin, who wished to improve his students' experiences of learning a new language."
"Learning through teaching was relatively slow to catch on elsewhere, until a group of scientists at Stanford University began to test the idea scientifically."
"The protege effect appears to be one of the most effective ways of accelerating our knowledge and understanding, especially through interactions, real or imagined."
