As Edmund Blackadder once said on talking to yourself,
"Its the only way I can be sure of intelligent conversation"........ |

| I talk to myself a fair bit. I have also found that this is a good way to practice my Korean too. I make up situations where I would want to use Korean and try it out. Lets me know what vocabulary I need to learn and grammer too. I tell me my student to practice conversations in English too by themselves. |

What bothers me is when I don't listen.
What was that again, Zed? |

| It has just never occurred to me to talk to myself. Either I lack imagination, or I'm frightfully sane. |

Yes.
I talk to myself in two situations:
1. Foreign language practice. Especially when I am riding my bike I love to practice foreign languages. But I usually do it under my breath unless no one else is around.
2. When I get really tired, but have tons of stuff to do and can't focus anymore... you know "Speech, print it, OHP sheets, okay, marker pens, red and black". |
