Marvelleous! We are two intrepid explorers of life! I always thought language learning was daunting, probably because it was so terrible at school. But having had the best reason there is to try my hand at French I felt inspired for another one. So in for a penny, in for a pound. It will be interesting to see how far I can get over the next couple of weeks, then onto Oriya!<br /><br />If you are interested in reading more about my language learning how about voting in my poll?

See, it is "un-..." each time. That might help. It might help to block your numbers as 30-39 instead of 31-40? But then the number 59 is so related to 60. unsath=59, and 60=sath.<br /><br />I would find a children's book if you can. I tried to look for some counting games online but couldn't find something. But I bet there is something out there. It's difficult to see the logic in the numbers...but it's there in some patterns.,,I suggest making visual patterns that you can memorize.Candy Minxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07350752657678863378noreply@blogger.com
