We learn to speak a new language much faster when we are in a foreign land where all the people are only speaking that language and we have no other way (except maybe sign language) to communicate with them, than when we are learning by listening to videos on our own.

Walmart executives now learn to serve their customers better after undergoing ultra-realistic training in VR than when they used to be trained in classrooms.

In football, it is very common to hear about the 'experience' of players, while talking about the ability of players to do better in a situation when they have already been in such situations before.

That's the fastest way you'll learn how to become that person.
