  1. This article will help emphasize The Thumb is a special thing in English, it's not just any finger like the ring finger 薬指 or pointer finger 人差し指 (people stabbing finger!?!?!笑) it #TheThumb not thrown in with the other Yubi指 fingers like the #親指 Parent Finger. Thanks to the Fediverse I can stress the uniqueness of the thumb with #TheOnion along with the Panda.

  2. I teach English with the #GradedDirectMethod of #IARichards. He was developing a #PictorialNotation for leaning foreign languages with his #LanguageThroughPictures books starting with #EnglishThroughPictures in 1945. Learners can narrate sequences of their drawings with English sentences using 3 tenses of take, put, and give combined with off, on, to, in, and from. These basic constructs are widely useful. There must be an equivalent approach to learn programming.
