Slow learner?

Is there anything you had trouble doing when you were younger, or that took you a long time to learn. Like maybe reading, writing, riding a bike? Or anything more unusual.

For me, I couldn't pronounce the sound of "C" or "K" until I was in Year 3 at school, so I was about..7 or 8 I guess? I had to go to a speech therapist to learn and one day I just got it =D Before that I said "dat" instead of "cat" and basically everything began with a D and not a C. xD Some people would tease me at school, asking me who my teacher was because her name was Mrs Cooper. >_< Meanies.

Oh, man, riding a bike...

I hated that when I was younger because I'd always fall off and slam into the mailbox on our street. I didn't truly learn how to stay on both wheels until I was about... 17.

I still have a bit of trouble with my alphabet, and left and right. :) But that's only when I have to think really fast.

Math was so difficult for me when I was little. I was awful at subtraction and multiplying. When I was 7 the teacher suggested I get a tutor. I never did. Call me stubborn, but I'd just feel so embarassed with myself if I did. And I can subtract and multiply good now.

i had a hard time laerning not to talk back...still havent learned.

I did have trouble remembering right and left. Honestly, I still have that problem :rolleyes3

Hmmm...I still can't ride a bike. :) But then again; no one ever tried to teach me and neither do I have a bike.

...? :)????

Never mind. :( I'm a slow learner. xD

ME TOO! I always have to make L's with both of my hands and the one that makes an actual L is my left hand.

XD

I couldn't pronounce Vs (I pronounced them as Ws!) or Ths (as Ss!) until like... third grade ^_~ I had to go to the school speech specialist person every week. But that was probly cos' I just moved to America and was learning English :p

I couldn't pronounce my R's or S's right. I had to go to speech at school too. The teachers name was Mrs. Brown and she was really nice. Sometiems she would make us cookies :)

i still have a hard time breathing

It took me a long time to learn how to spell correctly. >.< I'm still bad at spelling some words though. :/

I don't know how to ride a bike. And I don't know how to do fraction dividing thingy...

I couldn't pronounce my 'R's flawlessly until around year 2 or 3 I'd say. My sister always asked me to say "Roger Rabbit Ran Around The Rickety Road". Pfff.

Driving a standard vehicle. Damn that clutch.

I still mess up from time to time, especially with my mom right there.

No.

Math. I still don't understand a word of it. :cry:

It takes me a while to read a clock, over five seconds, as I was off school the week we learned how to when I was 7 or 8. I need my time in numerical form to avoid embarrassment!

That's because there are not many words.

Are you asking for a good ol' ass whooping? :mad2:

It took me ages to learn how to tie shoelaces. Something about bunny ears. :confused:

Vectors. I just couldn't get those damn arrows.

To this day I still cannot ride a bike without training wheels.

I couldn't pronounce my Ls until I was 8 :D. I'd always say "yearn" instead of "learn" and "bahyoon" instead of "balloon" awwww! I was sooo cute!

Babyvixen what a name. xD

Oi! What's that supposed to mean? :greenking

I had a lot of trouble with basic math in my head, mostly subtraction and division. I still do, though it doesn't matter as much since calculators are encouraged in math classes.

Haha, yeah me too. I think I was in second grade when I finally learned.

It took me till 3rd grade to realize people don't like it when you sstab them through the hand with a pencil (I was 5). I still do it anyway though!

I still cant, I have shoes that haven't been untied since I bought them, and I almost always wear flip-flops, cuz I dress like a bum.

I can't ride a bike...I remember people trying to teach me...but I just couldn't do it.


...Stop laughing.

it took me a long time to finally learn...(SPOILER)english ...partly cuz i'm from mexico. i was told that it would take me 4 years to learn it suffeciently like all the other kids. i forced myself to learn it in half the time. now i have problems telling the difference in nouns, verbs, and things like that. i'm also having trouble learning al bhed. its a bit hard but i'm getting it down.

I've always had trouble telling right from left ever since I was little. I still have trouble with it :(

Took me about twelve years to figure left from right. I only learnt in the end because my eyes have different capacities for seeing, so eventually I knew that 'bad looking = left'. xD

Also, I'm hopeless at French. I mean, I know more Latin than French, and my Latin education consists of one semi-serious dictionary. I suppose I shall always be, at heart, an Englishman.

Yeah, that was like me, too :mad:

I was slow in learning maths and slow in learning how to tie my shoelaces.

Any language other than my own i find impossible, confound you verbs! I hate you all *goes mad about verb* other than that, i have problems with drawing sometimes, that's a real pain

I had a lisp I went to speech therapy for. Still do sometimes, especially when I'm trying to speak very clearly. Also, I couldn't really tie my shoes until second grade because I found a shortcut to do it in first grade and didn't see the point.

Well, when I was younger it took me a little while to pronounce th right, I'd say words like "they" as "day". It also took me a little while to learn to ride a bike and tie my shoelaces.

I've always been a slow learner, but I've never had anything in particular I couldn't do. I'm good at a lot of things, but not talented at anything. It bites.
