# Ongoing learning

</br> Learning R is not unlike learning a spoken language: </br>
</br> Unfortunately it takes time to build vocab and learn syntax. </br>
</br> Regular (even total) immersion is the best way to progress. </br>
</br>
</br> Will reward you if you can make the investment

# Stack Overflow Strategy

</br> Require vocabulary to describe the problem (which you may not have right away) </br> 
</br> There is more than one style of writing R! </br> 
</br> Best to find the style that you're already using. </br> 
</br> 
Beware the date of answer.
