Now I went through your annotations.
I study music, and I am very glad to learn how to play the violin.
I learned much maths during University and I spent countless hours
studying theorems and solving problems.
If you want to be a physicist you should learn Math, Physics and Chemistry,
how much you will have to study depends upon your chosen path and your natural capacities and other facts like finding the right subjects to learn at an early stage,
which is also called 'good luck'.
Understanding is not enough to say thet you learned a language, as all the words should be held in a permanent memory, which will only happen after study and practice.
For some subjects, notably mathematics and physics understanding is all there is to do in order to learn, but only for a restricted category of persons, usually described by the word 'genius'.
How do you study a complex sequence of dance steps?
Only by practising, and I believe that holds also for 'geniuses'.
Maybe in special occasions learning does not require repetitiopn, but I think it is always
required for 'movement' learning like swimming, skying, horse riding, and for these capabilities there is a special verb: /to train/ instead of /to study/.
