intuitive labels for verb conjugations

[Emily Tall]

I am somewhat skeptical about Katya Hirvasaho's remark that we now have
the technical means to expose the students to large amounts of input.
Sure, we have the means, but how do you get the student to listen to just
"input"? Our students are very busy, they work and have to budget their
time. There are always exceptions, but by and large, they will only listen
if
it's an integral part of the course and if it's assigned. I was about to
also address her remark about conjugations being the construction of
Western men when it occurred to me that maybe this was an April Fool's Day
