Most English learners in Taiwan somehow believe that they can just learn a little but get to know a whole lot. Well, it is amazing how much information the human brain can hold. Those whom haven't learned just aren't inspired enough to learn or unwilling to take the time and effort, not because they are stupid.
Nobody can listen and understand things that are totally unfamiliar to them. Listening comprehension is the battle against the relentless unfamiliarity at first. The objective is to get over the learning curve as soon as possible.
Learning Curve Effect
The learning curve effect and the closely related experience curve effect express the relationship between experience and efficiency. As individuals and/or organizations get more experienced at a task, they usually become more efficient at them. Both concepts originate in the adage, "practice makes perfect", and both concepts are opposite to the popular misapprehension that a "steep" learning curve means that something is hard to learn. In fact, a "steep" learning curve implies that something gets easier quickly.
