There definitely seems to be a balancing act between:
* stopping all progress until you fully understand the point
* continue moving forward so you don't get stuck and give up
Interestingly I've found that leaning towards 'just keep going' seems to be more effective when learning a second language. Whereas slowing down and doing some background reading helps much more with technical topics.
Language seems much more natural to learn from pure exposure. So easy a baby can do it :)
