How can we learn difficult subjects in an easy manner?

Start by analyzing when and how you are studying. At what
time of day or night are you most alert and able to concentrate? Do you have an area
dedicated to studying that has the tools you need close at hand and that does not have
distractions close by? What is your learning style - do you learn best by reading,
hearing, drawing? The answer to this question should help you determine the kinds of
activities that will help you learn and remember the information you are
studying.

If social studies is your hardest subject, study
it when you are most alert and ready to focus. Use any help that your textbook or other
materials might give to help you organize the information in ways that fit your learning
style. If you learn best by seeing patterns, write or draw charts or posters or
timelines of the section titles and headings into an outline of the important points in
the lesson. Use different colors of highlighters to separate different topics to help
you keep related material together in your memory. If it helps you to hear things, read
aloud - the whole section, your class notes, the outline you have created. Record your
reading so you can hear it again. If you have access to a recording made by your
textbook or teacher that you can hear online or on iPod or other device, take advantage
of this. If it helps you to have note cards with questions on one side and the facts to
answer the questions on the other, make yourself a set and ask someone to quiz you with
them.

Some of the answer to your question depends on you
figuring out what is the easiest way for you to learn, then finding ways to adapt that
learning style to the material you are learning.
