My approach is:

1. take notes
2. never look at them again
3. only remember the interesting parts

end of list

That's sounds about right.

Has this method worked for you for other subjects in the past?

It's called gestalt learning. It's where you have a need to understand all aspects and angles of a topic before you "get it".

How long will you stay on this before you move on to an entirely different category? E.g. sports or birdwatching

"actively working" it has a nice ring to it ... creative use of vocabulary there

I follow a similar metodology, and I like to call it an "additive learning". That helps so I have a minimum base to quickstart specific topics. Been useful with computers and languages.

When I started trying to learn a new language I was learning Spanish in school, and also trying to learn German, Mandarin, and French on my own. Honestly it worked pretty well, I could even keep them separate in my mind easily which was surprising since people told me I’d get them mixed up if I learned them at the same time.

Anyway, it was only for a year or so because I eventually lost the hyper fixation on language and stopped learning all of them, but yeah I kinda did the same thing you described.

When I’d get bored with one language I’d move on to another. Sometimes I’d spend a whole day on just one, sometimes I’d switching between each of them in the same day.
