osmosis happens

We're told by well-respected sources that you can't learn by osmosis. But if there is one thing I've realized at NSA, it is that actually you can.

Take Greek, for example. I was sitting in the library this morning going over vocab paradigms when suddenly I realized that there I was, writing away in a completely foreign alphabet and it was making perfect sense; granted there is still the difficulty of learning a different language, but I've found myself throwing Greek letters into my standard English writing, and English into my Greek.

I don't remember when that happened. I feel like I sat down and suddenly started reading Greek. *poof* Dr. Leithart writes the occasional Greek term on the board during Theology, no longer bothering to transliterate to the English alphabet.

It was osmosis. All good things come through osmosis.
