April 20, 2013 at 1:45 AMCongrats CPod on your 300th Qingwen.
I save my CPod files with a name that begins with the lesson number. So I'm starting to worry that you might reach 1000 and I will have to add a leading zero to all my Qingwen file names.
Should I start planning for Saturday September 18 2026?

April 15, 2013 at 2:22 PMI think you're probably right. When we learned our tables at school we had to repeat them out loud to the point where we associated 8 and 9 with 72 without thinking. I think we'd find that most people 'say' their tables inside their head as they do a long multiplication, so the maths is strongly associated in our brains with the language we learned this maths in.
I think this issue with association holds back many people when learning a new language. I wonder how many CPod learners first associate in their brains the word 苹果 with the English word 'apple', instead of first associating it with a shiny red (or green) edible fruit. This indirect association is certainly a hindrance to vocabulary recall when trying to have a conversation in Chinese.
