Just focus on what's being presented to you. Be patient with yourself and ask questions if you don't get something.
Alot of people won't ask when they are hung up on something due to shyness or whatever the reason, and then confusion and not understanding sets in.
Communication is the KEY to learning!

Ramen. Cheap and effective.

Listening and understanding I can do thanks for the tip but starving on Ramen daily why would companies know this happens and don,t increase your training pay or give at least a 10 dollar a day food allowance.

Thats because the people that need training are normally down on their luck and broke, so they can get away with paying you dirt cheap. In an industry where turnover is 116% currently, alot of people get in and out.
