Well, before that you have to be able to read Latin alphabets. I had to.
You may be fortunate enough to have a native language that happens to share the writing system with English, but a lot of people don't. Actually, I think the majority of people don't.
- merrua 12y agoLearning another alphabet usually only takes a week or two with flashcards though. I wouldn't imagine that will hold anyone back. Though encouragement would help.
- jdiez17 12y agoLearning an alphabet might not be particularly difficult in itself, but being able to consciously identify symbols is not enough for your brain to form higher-level abstractions. It's not unattainable by any means, of course, it's just a significant obstacle. (IMO)
- jdiez17 12y agoThat's very true, and I didn't think about it. I'm very fortunate in that regard.
