YOU SHOULD ABSOLUTELY GIVE IT A TRY CAUSE:
Firstly, the only way to truly learn a skill is by actually doing what you’ll have to do in the real world.
Secondly, I think practice can be a fun way of putting in the necessary hours. There are, however, some people who will disagree.
Thirdly, and most importantly, it is said that people tend to remember only 10-20% of what they read or hear. Moreover, that number rises to as much as 90% when you put theory to practice.
In conclusion, following up explanation with practice is key to mastering a skill.
