    Skill is (almost) a linear function of time spent.

    Want to get better at something ? Just do it more. Learning about it can increase the factor, but it won’t actually increase skill directly.

    ( It is by smithing that one becomes a smith. French proverb )

      Many, many things are what’s called a “perishable skill.” If you don’t use the skill, or a language for that matter, it will atrophy and you will forget how to do it.

      Usually more of a logarithmic relationship though

      Either way, keeping at it is essential
