Mathematics uses its own Language, Jargon, Symbolism, Abbreviations, and Notations. 

Language Barriers, Miscommunication, and Confusion is common and is the first sign that you are having a Communication Problem. 

Treat Mathematics the same way you would a Foreign Language. Instead of trying to “Understand the Problem,” it is very important that you also analyze the Language of the Instructor, the Book, and the words. 

In most cases, you have a problem with the Language and Translation. 

With Mathematics, you are not just learning a new Academic Discipline. You are simultaneously learning a new Language. Drawing, Painting, and Sculpting will help you with this due to the 4 Translation Pathways required for Art.

Linguistics and Logic are priceless and mandatory in learning Mathematics. 

Stay Vigilant. Is it the Math that is the problem? Or the Language?
