Hello there, Michelle. How's it going today? Good, Lindsay. How are you? Feeling good. Feeling good. Michelle, are you good at remembering all of the birthdays in your family? It sounds like you have a pretty big family. Mm-hmm. My family isn't that big, but Dan's family is big, and so then when you add them all together, it is a big family. As far as birthdays go, I'm pretty good, but there is... a week in October where it's like everybody's birthday in the family. Okay. Okay. So, so it's my dad's, his dad's, his sister's, his, our niece and nephew, everybody's. And so sometimes that gets a little confusing. And so that's, That can be hard to remember. What about you, Lindsay? Are you good at, you know, remembering birthdays?
Yeah. Family, I'm usually good. Friends, you know, it's so frustrating because I decided to recommit to remembering friends' birthdays. I wrote them all in this app that I decided to get a membership for for birthdays. And then the app offloaded and I lost all the birthdays. Oh, no. I know. Right. So now I just have to go back. It's better just have it in the old noggin, right? In the old noggin. Well, it's funny. Yeah. Sometimes I always think, oh, it's better to just be able to remember things and, you know, not have always everything written down.
How do you differentiate between 'memorize' and 'remember' in English?
It's good for your mind. But then I do forget. Yeah, you do forget. I know. And I feel so bad when a friend remembers and I forget theirs. Oh, it's such a mind trip. Yeah. What are we talking about today, Michelle? So today we are going to talk about this really interesting topic that you brought up, which is very important. And I bet a lot of our listeners are a little confused about this. And it's the difference between remember and memorize. Yeah, I was having a conversation with a student sometime in the last couple of weeks, and I heard this used incorrectly. And I thought, oh, this would make a great episode, Michelle, for our listeners today. Right? Yeah. Definitely. So this is a great idea. So I'm excited to talk about this.
