The exceptions are pretty cool too! It’s a tell of what language their teacher spoke when teaching them that particular type of math, so it can be really insightful into someone’s past. Some people grew up speaking one language at home and with friends but get placed in a school system that doesn’t speak their native language, so they learn math in a different language than the one they feel most comfortable speaking in an everyday context. Or you might meet someone who always does their multiplication tables in one language, but if they’re trying to remember how to calculate volume or talk about statistics always have to swap to a second language. The person most likely learned simple arithmetic in a completely different language environment than they learned formulas for geometry or terms related to statistics, so they’ve probably had some big lifestyle changes that they had to adjust to midway through childhood.

Idk in high school my Spanish teacher always said that the way we process language is different than the way we process numbers… She said that’s why she can’t do any math in English, but speaks so fluently you couldn’t tell that she wasn’t a native English speaker

I read somewhere that we always "think" in our native language and it was a very weird realisation at the time.

[@randomt800kiddo2]

it's so obvious in hindsight though especially when you try to learn a new language; it's always a matter of translating that new language into your native language to make sense of it

[@__lasevix_]

Interestingly that is not true. I find myself thinking in English more than my native language. It's a matter of how you learn the language. For instance I could never imagine myself thinking about grammar and translation in every sentence, yet I know some people that speak fluently while thinking that way.

[@ttt-n4e9w]

The default thought language changes if you live a few years in a different country, I drift between the two now

​@@randomt800kiddo2It's not true. You can get to the point when you can think in foreign language.

[@michikatsu8505]

​@@__lasevix_ my thoughts seems to be mixed, aparrently I think more in English when I am alone, but with people nearby Mostly in my native language, I suppose. But that's probably matter of habit as well, I barely know enough japanese To make a decently long sentence, but a lot of words kind of just invades my brain.

[@xiphoid2011]

Yeah, I came to the US as a Chinese student and now a US citizen. Although I'm very fluent in English, I also automatically still switch to Chinese when doing more complex math. Numbers are more concise and simpler in the Chinese language than English, so you literally can remember more numbers/digits/steps.

[@wdwdwdw21]

the sound of the marker hitting the white board and his voice are weirdly calming

[@pitioti]

As someone supposed to be fluent in English I switch back to french when I need to do math. Math is hard, doing it in a foreign language is adding a layer of difficulty ! Trying to explain it in english too is just even more admirable !!

[@samaraisnt]

I read an article that they fundamentally teach math differently in French, because at higher levels they want abstract(very veeeeery high level) mathematicians, so they put way more emphasis on high level abstract math idk what it’s even called but that’s probably why i can’t find the article anymore lolll

It takes a lot to speak a foreign language....are you saying he’s supposed to be able to do complex math and always speak in a non native tongue...or it’s an extra hard problem vs us having neurons that fire faster for things we are more accustomed too like our first language? If you don’t know as much English, why would want to ramble in it and make life hard for yourself? He’s not teaching then but talking out loud and thinking...ignorance isn’t cute

​@@Nothereforit174 They are joking :) There is a well known stereotype, that as all stereotypes, is not true but a vague generalization.
