Knowledge of languages is the door to wisdom

... Or in my case the route to a headache! In a vain attempt to learn the 48 or so Japanese characters I now have a set of flash cards (basic kids ones apparently :-0) as well as access to a whizzy on- line game... Not seeing a vast improvement in my knowledge but I do have a greater understanding of why kids sometimes get frustrated learning new things...

As for learning another way to think about things... I think I will have a LARGE glass of red and see if that helps the learning process ;)

Learning another language is not only learning different words for the same things, but learning another way to think about things.
