It has been a wild ride.
Most people don’t realize that the grammar taught in modern schools isn’t logical. They were taught from an early age, right through to higher education, that it is logical, like a science.
But they might have noticed it was difficult to understand.
But now, with this course, the door is opening to actually understanding grammar and the little words.
It’s like, imagine you’re trying to learn to drive a car for the first time. You open the manual, and half of it is in Chinese. They don’t explain the Chinese terms in English. You’re trying to figure it out.
You’re trying to understand it, but you don’t. That’s a crude example.
It’s more like you thought that the whole thing was in English, and you thought you were just stupid, because “Look, the teacher understands it. The other students are reading it. Wow – I must be stupid!”
So now they give you the real book and take the Chinese out, and all of a sudden, “Wow!”
Now you can think with it, and you’re not stupid at all.
