Pa 50:

I'm not a big proponent of memorization method of studying BUT if we don't know what these words mean and understand the concept of them we'll never get going in our studies in economics. So when we talk to each other let us speak in this language to one another because if you use a word in everyday language then you'll have it memorized forever. Just like when I learned Japanese & Korean & Spanish. Talk this language to your friends, b/f, g/f family, etc. :)
