The worst way to learn a new tech is "feels understood while reading, blank when using." The Feynman technique: explain a concept in the simplest words-if you can't, you don't get it. This pack turns AI into a sparring partner, from explaining to probing to quizzing.
Beginner: Explain It Clearly
Just met a new term-have AI explain it in plain language first.
Prompt
You are a patient teacher. Use the Feynman technique to explain "{{concept}}":
1. Define it in one plain sentence (no jargon-explaining-jargon)
2. Give a real-life analogy
3. Explain what problem it solves and when to use it
4. Give a minimal example
Constraints: assume zero background; mark sub-concepts as "expand later" instead of diving inIntermediate: Probe for Gaps
Think you get it? Have AI question you and expose blind spots.
Prompt
You are a strict examiner. I just learned "{{concept}}" and will explain it to you:
1. After my explanation, point out 2-3 vague or wrong spots
2. For each, ask one specific follow-up question (force me deeper)
3. If I can't answer, give hints-not the answer
My explanation: {{write here}}Expert: Generate Quizzes
The best test of understanding is doing problems.
Prompt
You are a quizmaster. Based on "{{concept}}", create 5 questions, easy to hard:
1. Two concept-clarity MCQs (tests understanding)
2. Two scenario-application questions (tests use)
3. One open-ended design/debug question (tests depth)
Ask first; give answers and explanations only after I attempt. When I'm wrong, ask "why did you pick that."How to Use
Beginner builds intuition, intermediate clears blind spots, expert verifies mastery. Finish all three and you've truly learned a concept. The key is making AI "probe" and "quiz"-passive reading never beats being forced to output.
