Not the worst advice, but I've also learned in life that sometimes a completely fresh person is easier to teach than someone with "bad habits" to unlearn or change their thinking. I've just been doing cursory reading and watching of aviation related articles and videos the past 2 years, but I havent tried to "study" anything because I dont want to have to unlearn something I may have taught myself incorrectly. It takes knowing what kind of learner you are; I'm not necessarily a quick learner but I can soak in information for hours and enjoy it, when taught by an authority on the subject (especially if I can ask questions as time goes on). Just my two cents.
