Being proficient in english I can immediately tell that the symbols “ha” make the ha sound. But learning japanese, I have to think twice before concluding “は” makes ha sound. Feels as if brain too has random access memory and secondary memory. Every time I wake up english language is loaded up in my RAM while japanese still sits there back in secondary memory, only fetched when needed (when I practice on duolingo).
Need to read a book on how our memory works to see if I’m talking bullshit or does the analogy fit correctly.
