"Do not learn if you do not understand" Seems strangely backward to me. Understanding is my end goal when learning.

  Learning is not the same as studying, but if English is not your mother tongue you can easily mistake one word for the other. e.g. in german it is the same word. I assume it was written by a polish native speaker. Apparently in polish they also only have on word for it - uczyć.

  The material you're using to learn has two levels: the concepts it tries to explain, and the concepts used to explain them. For the material to be truly useful you already need to have an understanding of the latter. Some learning, of course, is by example/exposure rather than by explanation, otherwise you'd never be able to even get started.

  I see this as a warning against rote memorization.
