I had never thought of teaching "opposites."  How many students have you
used this with and what is their your of success?

This is interesting from a psychological and academic viewpoint.

"You see, wire telegraph is kind of a very, very long cat.  You pull his
tail
in New York and his head is meowing in Los Angeles.
 Do you understand this?  And radio operates exactly the same way: you send

signals here,  they receive them there.
The only difference is that there is no cat."

 Albert Einstein

Hi Dave

I devised a way to learn all the characters in 3 weeks.
It goes like this:

A N    G W    N A    S O   X P
B V     I M      O S     T E  Y Q
D U     K R     P X      U D
E T      L F     Q Y     V B
F L       M I      R K     W G

Exceptions: C H J Z

Here is a demo word: FLANKERT

Have fun

OK, Danny, what is a good way?  I'm all ears - except for the foot in
my mouth!  Yours recommendation is for stinky fish - so I gather you
have a better way.
