For example, learning about u-verbs,
The key was the letter U - but my brain registered the kana shown and so when asked about 飲む,読む and then suddenly 話す my brain went “error, す wasn’t in the list” even though the list was unrelated anyway but brain took a picture 🤣
Learning Japanese with a teacher really makes me realize how I learn as a person and why I always struggled with the education system as a kid, because my brain just does things differently🤣 (very visual learner)
