Animals
A while ago I began to collect images in the Internet. I have a collection of images of animals, plants and fruits. I then make a slideshow and
try to give the images the correct names. The assigning of images I either do at the computer or I write the names. My goal is to implement the
thing in a C++ program. But that will take some time until I reach this goal.

At the moment I for some weeks observe the following phenomenon with me: I can express words problem-free. If I however take the time
what that actually is what I am talking about, then I actually recognize that I do not understand the word. An example for this is the word egg
whip. I don’t have any problems speaking the word. However if I start to think about what that actually means I recognize that I don’t
understand the meaning. The word egg whip is not a single case, but instead this happens very often to me. I understand the word, but I do
not understand its meaning. During the first part of my illness I didn’t recognize this because I was lacking many words. But now all of a
sudden the words reappeared but I am still lacking the understanding of the words. It is a magnificent thing to see all that words in my
vocabulary again.

But also the reversal is very frequently the case. I can describe a word in detail with my modest vocabulary but I do not get the actual word. No
question, that happens to all of us, but since I got ill it happens very often to me. An example is the word "bucket". I can describe the word
exactly, partly with many details, but the word it self is missing to me.
