Hello Gabriel,

    The ideal length of time to learn something new? An important
    consideration is whether the learners have some basic skills in the
    area, or if this is something totally new - meaning having to learn
    and use new terms, tools, coordinated motions, etc. 

    If I'm removed from the beck and call of my everyday life, I'd vote
    for two, twelve hour days, with a nice lunch and dinner provided in
    30 minute breaks. IOW, a complete immersion in the new technique or
    skill. That means a day for travel on each side of the training, so
    it's still 4 days out, but the travel time can be rejuvenating and a
    time for reflection on the recent learning. 

    I'm curious to learn how others respond, Judy in Kansas, where we're
    "enjoying" temps in the 90s - is it fall yet???
