  What an idiot. You YELL the explanation, that’s the secret; this works especially well for those who don’t speak the same language.

    If that language is Spanish, you add “o” at the end of every word.

      And in Japanese you add the o in the middle: Sand-o-wich

  I get this with people who don’t understand “say it slower and more clearly.” Then they say it with the same volume and still mumble.

    One of my biggest pet peeves that sets me off a little every time is when I saw “what” and they say it again at the same volume and speed.

    Then I glare at them for two seconds, and loudly and slowly say “WWWHHHAAAAAATTT?” and they act affronted for having to repeat themselves again.

      I raise you same volume and speed but bigger distance (they walked to the fridge or decided to grab something quick)

    I get this a lot with other languages, but especially Spanish. I sound like I’m fluent, but I can’t understand it when spoken back to me for shit

      Same with Swedish, although depending on the accent, I can hear some clearer that others.

  I had a computer science professor who taught mathematical induction with one example proof. I didn’t get it, so I went to office hours, and she painstakingly went through the same example proof. I didn’t get it.

  Then I went to the library on found Donald Knuth’s The Art of Computer Programming. I think it was the very first chapter that did the trick.

    That’s like not understanding a sermon so you go straight to the bible. TAOCP is such a dense book. I wonder if Knuth will ever finish it.

  “What” sometimes means you didn’t hear and sometimes means you didn’t understand, but you make me guess and yell at me if I guess wrong.

  You did not hear? Let Me say something completely different

    Oh, you must be missing the basics. So let me explain the most obvious shit, but only till I get to my previous point, without repeating it, of course

  I remember when I was learning negative numbers the first time our mat teacher was giving us problems like -2 + 6 or whatever for practice. Nobody else was answering so I did a few and after I got them right he was like “How’d you figure it out” and I told him the smaller number cancelled out part of the bigger number. He was like no that’s wrong and was a dick about it. To this day I don’t remember what the real explanation was because I was pissed but it really put me off that dude when he did that after I had just demonstrated that I understood how to do the problems multiple times.

  Never had good luck with math teachers in grade school.

  Let me go over this trivial math topic so many times that you lose the ability to learn math before proceeding to a much more difficult concept

  Do you ever reread the same sentence in a book? Does it ever help?

  source

  • Jankatarch@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    For textbooks …kinda? Rereading the paragraph after looking at the questions works nicely.

  Wouldn’t happen to me. I’d simply understand better.
