I specifically mean simple, not easy. In language learning I found for myself a simple way to learn a language - two weeks with Duolingo initially, while also reading shorts stories for learners and watching YouTube in desired language with or without subtitles about my interests, also optionally flashcards to learn words. This is simple way for myself to learn new language, perhaps not easy per se, but it's simple and relatively clear-cut. What is alternative to this, the simplest way to learn chess(again, I do not mean easy, I mean not complicated/convoluted)?
