Grammar
"Learning English grammar can take varying amounts of time depending on individual learning pace, study habits, and the depth of knowledge desired. While basic grammar can be grasped in a few days, mastering it to a fluent level can take hundreds or even thousands of hours of study and practice according to language learning platforms and language learning experts...
Advanced Fluency:
To reach an advanced level of English grammar proficiency, where you can understand complex texts, express yourself clearly in writing, and use a wide range of grammar structures and idioms, it can take around 1,200 hours of study."[1]
Copywriting and grammar
"Copywriting requires a strong understanding of grammar to ensure clarity, credibility, and professionalism in your messaging. However, it's a field where strict adherence to every single grammar rule might sometimes hinder effectiveness in achieving your communication goals with a target audience."[2]

Mnemonics:
Jerry Lucas in the forward of the book The Memory Book: The Classic Guide to Improving Your Memory at Work, at School, and at Play indicated that he was a member Phi Beta Kappa (College honors society), but studied 25% of the time other college students studied.
Deliberate practice:
"Deliberate practice can significantly shorten the learning curve, but its impact varies depending on the field and individual factors. While it's not a guarantee of mastery, deliberate practice, characterized by focused effort and targeted feedback, can accelerate progress and lead to faster skill acquisition compared to less structured approaches."[4]
"Evidence suggests that deliberate practice can significantly shorten the learning curve by improving both the rate of skill acquisition and the efficiency of learning, particularly for lower-performing individuals."[5]
