Quotes

  • What you understand, you know; and what you know, you don't forget.
  • All stress inhibits true and effective learning.
  • If you give yourself that short little moment of thinking, then you cannot miss it.
  • If you know how to handle the verbs, you know how to handle the language. Everything else is just vocabulary.
