Hi.
Generalizing the idea of
learning:
1) Yes, one good way is experience, especially learning from mistakes.
2)
Retrieval is another method, one of the best, noted in several books (that I am reading) on learning, for example:

Some forms of practice make people more perfect than others, though, and people should be sure to practice retrieving their knowledge. In one well-known study, a group of subjects who practiced recalling a passage learned a lot more than people who simply reread the passage. More concretely, you'd learn a lot more if you ask yourself questions after reading this text than simply rereading it.
Flash or index cards, your own quizzes, etc. are some ways to implement this.
Good luck ... cheers, drl
