What is Steep Learning Curve?

[sanjay]

I’ve heard the term "steep learning curve" used in jobs and new skills. Does it mean something is hard to learn or learned quickly? Looking for clear examples or explanations!

A steep learning curve refers to a situation where something is difficult to learn initially because it requires a lot of effort, skill, or knowledge in a short time.

 

[Robert Willian]

A steep learning curve describes a situation where a large amount of learning or progress occurs rapidly in a short period.
