Years ago, I learned to hold chopsticks correctly the hard way: by looking at instructions (found on a packet of disposable chopsticks) and holding them as instructed to pick up food while eating. It was awkward, and my hand ached for a week or so before I adjusted. Now, I can even pick up peanuts and grains of rice with chopsticks without thinking about it. I'm left-handed, and now I'm training my right hand to hold chopsticks too. :-)
