The kid is progressing slowly, he started two nights ago with a subset of the alphabet and is now almost done memorizing two-thirds of the symbols. I placed the kid in an actual test to see if he can see the difference. It went like this:

• Do you see the English text above?
• Yes, of course I can read it.
• Now, try reading the symbols below.
• Well, the letters are mixed up.
• That’s right, the text go circular as you read a syllable.
• OK, now I get it.
• Try reading it the way it was written.
• The first symbol is T.
• Yup…
• Followed by ae?
• Go on…
• k….u…o…n
• Keep going
• d….o….
• Ya got it.
• Hey!
