Do the Chicago Cubs grow up to become the Bears?

The Meeting

After waiting outside the director's office for what felt like 15 minutes (it was likely only 3) he finally called me in.
"So lets talk about your study habits"
Huh? What? Sigh of relief. "What do you want to know?" I answer happily.
"You have been making good grades in all of your other classes, so what are you doing differently when it comes to studying a language?"
"The main difference is that I can sit and read/study for my other classes for hours and then I know it, I don't have to go back until it's exam time. The language, on the other hand, I study something over and over again and then its like nothing sticks. Maybe I'll remember just one or two new words after hours of study."
"Hmmmm. Well, when I was in the Peace Corp... (yada, yada, yada) turns out I have a slight hearing problem. I think you should get tested, since the University offers such services for free, for a learning disability. They may just be able to unlock your problem with being able to learn a language."
Huh? What? "Okay." Whatever they want me to do, it will be done. Perhaps I am LD, especially when it comes to grammer.
