In this video, I talk about learning for fun and hobby learners and why learning in your free time (like learning during the summer) might be super beneficial for you.

John needs a Ted Talk. Prove me wrong. You can't.

Agree

John Fish. You're such a huge inspiration to me, for years now. Last November, watching one of your videos, I decided to try a 2months long break from social media (including youtube - except useful channels) + television... I made it and instead started learning coding and reading a lot. Since then I've been much more productive and somehow, your videos started this. Next May I'm applying for software engineering and I wouldn't do it nor believe in myself without you being truly helpful. Sorry for being too sentimental but I really think your videos help lots of people 💙 Also sorry if I made some grammar mistakes, I'm from Slovakia so... ✌

[@Helloohorse]

I was in grade 12 last year and I was seeing learning as a necessary task to get through school. I'm now in college and I truly believe in learning for fun. Being motivated and enthusiastic about learning has tremendously changed the way I perceive it. I feel empowered with the opportunity to learn any subject I want and it's making feel very happy.

As a homeschooler who’s developed a love of learning, I want to say that this video was really amazing! Learning is beautiful and really fun, and so thanks for inspiring me to remember to learn for fun more often!

doing school is a responsibility you can hate it or enjoy it (still struggling and improving) we are made to avoid danger and things we hate sometimes your goals are what you hate wich you dont have to

[@maham7404]

People like you help people like us to reflect on the things we do in our daily lives. Never have I ever been motivated like this from any other video out there. I can relate to you so much and as a full time student your videos allow me to be clear about my future and my goals. Thank you for making these kind of videos!

[@nilukiperera306]

This is so inspiring. I've always been a curious person and although school makes learning exhausting at times, I feel the same way as you. I've always thought it was kind of sad that people learn or shove massive amounts on information into our brains just because we have to do it to get a job or be successful. I find it sad that we can no longer enjoy learning and studying just because there are topics and subjects out there that are so interesting to learn about. It makes me sad that some people in uni are studying things they don't even want to learn just because they feel like they need to study something or their parents pressured them to do it. I honestly hope that one day, people will view learning in the same way that you do. Thanks for the video ♥️♥️

[@marjonasevinchova8511]

You're inspiring in how you perceive and approach the world... At your core, you're optimistic, which drives your motivation whereas it's so easy for me to fall off the rails and feel overwhelmed and discouraged. Watching your videos really do remind me that life doesn't have to be bleak.

I like that idea about consistency. I've been learning English for the past 4 years. I never missed a day since then. Right now English is my major in the Uni, I have a job that requires a decent level of English fluency. I've read and watched so much content that is not available in my native language, I've met so many people, I've done so much. My life has changed. Everything it took was at least 15 minutes a day.

[@hotrodjones74]

Finding a little bit of time each day to read really makes a difference. This works well for language learning too. I'm chipping my way through Tolstoy's War and Peace in Russian that way. I mostly read it on the metro when I go to work.

[@nicholasn.2883]

I’ve been learning for fun through KZbin for 6 of the 15 years of my life. There is just SO much educational content on this. It’s actually absurd. What’s also crazy is how easy it was to learn here. Only a small percentage of the educational videos I’ve seen have been boring, which allows me to just inhale them. Not to mention the KZbin algorithm that can keep the cycle of learning going for hours a day. The internet is so underrated when it comes to learning and education. I’m even shocked at times by how much I know. What happens a lot in conversation is that a nerdy topic is brought up, and I’ve got basically talk down to the other person. It’s just all so crazy. I think I need to donate my both my kidneys to youtube as a thank you.

[@milly4543]

I think you missed something: motivation. A lot of people struggle outside of a structured environment given how overwhelming the amount of information out there is. Personally, I've self studied a lot of things, learnt to 'learn for fun' and it has helped me approach everything differently but I would've been more productive if somebody had planned it all out for me and told me what to do instead of me having to hunt down information and draw conclusions and comparisons on my own. Otherwise, spot on!

[@kripposoft]

Another thing he doesn't mention is the curation of availible knowledge. Sure, you could learn everything that you learn in a college course online; but finding the right material, and getting feedback on your work, is very difficult to do online

[@TreespeakerOfTheLand]

Sounds like you've improved your researching skills greatly, ain't that worth something?

[@kripposoft]

It's worth something, but if you're looking to learn something specific it can be an unnecessary waste of time. Although if you're a US resident and have to pay for college that "waste of time" might be worth it

[@sarahsf6940]

If I had watched this a year ago, I’d probably not have been able to catch the essence of the matter. Actually, I started learning English (it’s my 3rd language) through the internet and omg I’ve learned so much more in several weeks than I do in a year of English taught at school. I’m almost fluent now and I could tell that it’s probably the best decision of my life. Throughout the year, I began considering the idea of studying abroad. Without a strong belief that my English will be consistent enough once high school is over, the motivation would have faded away in a few days. But because I was seeing amazing results of my learning, I persisted. I didn’t have the slightest idea of how it feels to learn for fun. But don’t get me wrong, it’s not something that comes in an instant, it’s all about how dedicated you are. I’m now preparing the TOEFL, my application to UK universities and reading V. Woolf essays. Thank you John, thanks for reminding me that it applies to any other area, how easy it is to just get a book and grow interests and skills :)

For the past three days, I have been working on a python based project. I just graduated from high school and I was just thinking the same thing you are. When I got certain things to work from reading the documentation it felt good. I realized that learning could and SHOULD be fun. I had a terrible web development/computer science teacher in high school who just cared more about assignments than actual learning. This led me to not caring about learning and caring more about completing assignments (copy and paste ) *cough* *cough*. Anyways, I just started to learn on my own. I hope I become consistent in learning more. Thanks, now I know I'm not the only one.
