I'm not convinced I know how to read, I've just memorised a lot of words.
If you know, you know 🙏🤣💜🫂 😍
If you don't know, you're gonna think I'm not very bright, and I'm okay with this 🙏💜🫂🥹

Like if i sent you a word you didn’t know and you couldn’t look it up. You wouldn’t be able to read it?

Haha nah it's from this TV show 🙏☺️
Haha didn’t know if it was like the people who can’t picture an apple in their minds eye.
I'm not convinced I know how to add, I've just memorised the sums of integer pairs.
If you know, you know 🙏🤣💜🫂 😍

Learning phonics may help. I would suggest checking out the Spalding Method.
That's really kind 🥹💜🙏 thank you 🫂
I taught in public school for a few years and half of my students were functionally illiterate. Few people learn the mechanics of English. And spelling is quite confusing too, as it is a mix of German, French, Latin and other languages. I was awful with spelling until I started paying attention in college. You got this! 🙌🏼💪🏼🫂
That wouldn’t be surprising since that’s how most of learned to read (sight memory). However studying etymology will teach you the root structure of words to the extent you can learn a myriad of language or even invent your own.
I use an etymology app on my phone and look up words daily to keep learning.
