How'd you learn your lefts and rights? [Many ways of learning]

[Vinylic.]

I just want to share you all about this. How did you learn how to cook when you were a boy?
watching Martha Stewart or Paula Dean telling you how to cook their favorite recipes?

How'd you learn spanish? watching dora or diego?

How'd i learned my lefts and rights?
Watching toy story 2 where the scene of toys are driving after the fat guy driving.
Rex is going "He's going left. HE'S GOING LEFT" and " Right! right,right,right,RIGHT!"
I still remember that. and how incredible it was to learn something like that.

1.) Hold both arms out infront of you leave your hands limp so you can see the palm
2.) Extend your thumbs toward the other hand
3.) ?????
4.) Profit! whichever one makes an 'r' shape is your right hand

Something about me being in Kindergarden in after school care and then that ****ed boss lady making us do the hardest dance of life (or at least as hard as it can get for a Kindergardener) and demanding us to learn our left and rights by making us spend an entire hour and a half just making us memorize those

Yeah... it kinda sticks when you spend an entire hour and a half of your life learning your left and rights

(Btw, I'm Hispanic so by the time I was watching Dora, I thought to myself "**** this ****, I have better crap to do" )

Easy, my left side is weaker and more uncoordinated than my right side, so I always knew my left hand from my right.

I learned how to count and add from watching Clifford the Big Red Dog.

This is how my parents taught me.

Something about this video is really bothering me (no not the upside down cross nor the fact that "I'm going to die"). I think it's the fact that when he points to the left, he's really pointing to the right from his side. I mean, you'd think he'd be more accurate on something as simple as his left and rights

he does say "this is your left"

idk if this is a joke or maybe I'm doing it wrong but your left hand is the one that makes the r shape.

Kinda the point yeah

Whichever hand I can make a L with is my left.

Thats genius.
Just like Kenmore.

 

[Jonas]

I knew, from being told so, that cars are supposed to drive in the right side of the road. Whenever I was in doubt about left or right, I just thought about which side of the road my parents drove in, and then I knew that this side was the right, and that the other side must therefore be left

 

[Geist]

Dad: Your left hand is this one, and your right hand is the other one.
Me: K

 

[Osco316]

Put your right hand out in front of you, and turn it so the palm is facing you. Then make an L shape and realize you have two left hands.

lolz. you can't confuse the laws of physics. chuck norris can though. he divided by 0.

WITH ONE FINGER.

I should close this thread due to outdated Chuck Norris jokes!

 

[DtJ Glyphmoney]

This thread is literally about knowing the difference between right and left.

 

[satowolf]

I learned by doing the whole "Your left hand makes an 'L' shape" trick.
But then things got complicated with the whole
"It's on the left side!"
"My left?!"
"no no no! MY left!! sorry!"
>__>

 

[Luigitoilet]

This thread is literally about knowing the difference between right and left.

It also can (ideally) be about mnemonic devices in general.

 

[Pikaville]

I learned my lefts and rights from the Megadrive Sonic's level select code.

Up, down, left, right start+A.

No joke.

I was 2 and my cousin taught me the code xD

 

[Lore]

When I was a little kid, my dad was shoveling dirt out of the back of our truck for some reason, and while I was sitting on the toolbox, I lost my balance and fell.

I tried to catch myself, but my arm broke at the elbow when it hit the shovel. I didn't cry or anything (seriously, lol), but my arm past the elbow was like all loose and flopping around.

After the doctors put the cast on (and put big pins in), I asked which arm it was, and they told me that it was my right arm.

And that's how I learned my right and left.

Oh, and they later pulled out the pins while I was awake and not under the influence of any pain meds.

[Pikaville]

+rep for not crying.

I remember when I broke my ankle when I was wrestling on the rugby pitch in front of my school.

I didn't cry either, mainly because half the school was watching us.

Well then I have 2 left hands for as long as I keep doing that

For the love of god please do.

 

[Mota]

Left hand, using the index and thumb makes an L. Back of your hand must be facing towards you. Done-didilly

Still do it to this day, sad I know

 

[Vinylic.]

when you all have kids, them the "L" trick. But please i swear to god don't shatter their brains due to your "you got two left hands now!"

You'll make them two handed. Then in the future you kid will say, "mom, dad, why the heck are my hands doing two things instead of one?"

Seriously, i have two handed friend. he writes with one hand and draws with the other. IT'S FREAKY.

How do you manage 404ing 3 posts over the course of 8 minutes?

And I think you mean dual handed.
Lots of people are dual handed in things they probably don't know about. Like they hold a baseball bat lefty and a golf club righty. Ambidexterity is cooler.

 

[mzink*]

I wish I was ambidextrous, my left side is so uncoordinated compared to my right. It's ridiculous.

Look at this guy... the only way a woman is ever going to make love to him is if this woman was dead.

Dead rhymes with Ted.

I use a lot of mnemonic devices for learning foreign words.

[DtJ Glyphmoney]

Writing and drawing with different hands?!

He's very clearly a witch.

 

[Vinylic.]

Whoa there... How the heck did i do 3 posts? I did not do this on purpose. Either this is lag or an error. Maybe this has to do with my internet connection...

 

[Peeze]

That's wild. My one handed friends can't stack up to that.

hey, i made up something. I don't know i'f anyone else made but...

('_'(@) TOILET PAPER!!! has eyes and all that...

 

[DtJ Glyphmoney]

What

 

[Phantom7]

Sometimes I wish I was ambidextrious so I could write two different things at once.

Do not fear. You are...when you are using a gamecube controller.

You can teach yourself to be

This guy did (famously(ish)) By writing out everything both hands at once until both hands were as good as each other
