Writing Prompt: Teachable Moment
If I need to learn a skill. I feel it is important to read about it. If I am unable to make sense of it by reading. I’d try to watch someone else do it.
The only problem I have with watching someone is sometimes they do it too quickly,I am left wondering how on earth did he do that.My experience with demonstration hasn’t been good. I am not the only one who has trouble. My husband bought a gadget, just by watching someone go through the process, when he came home and tried, things did not work out. This is what he said,”It looked so easy when she was showing it, now I can’t even do one thing with it.”
Hear someone describe it, is not going to work for me either. The best thing I think is to read it and do it myself.

ha. How many of us have had that happen. I think those people are more like magicians, When I train people it helps when get to basically teach it back to the group.
I always appreciate your sincerity and honesty.
Thanks for your visit. I am grateful to have only broken a wrist another person who was before me had broken their face.

I hope you’ll be all right.

You’d laugh if i told you how long it took me to learn how to link up with speak easy. Selina almost lost her mind,but I have one thing to say about her instruction what she does is she does it and asks did you get it Mom? of course I didn’t.
Dear Ranu,
Thank you for this post which highlights how we all have different learning styles. There is no single superior one.
All good wishes,

Thank you Robert.
Dear Monique,
your entry for speak easy is awesome. I’ve read your poem and am saving it to read it again. I think you are a natural poet..
I have always had the same problem 🙂
You do not have a problem you know Urdu ,Punjabi,English and Farsi.
All this doesn’t mean you have a problem learning languages.
Glad to see you here,it’s not overcrowded.Don’t you think?
Oh sorry this is a skill, I think I’ve lost my mind trying to interact in the course.
