The following article is an excerpt from the free online course "Using Finance & Accounting in Your Small Business".
When you learn something new like accounting concepts and terms, it helps to create links between what you know and what you are trying to learn. In some ways, it is like learning a second language and decoding the new word is part of the learning process. For example, trying to translate the Spanish word necesario you might brainstorm with necessary - and you would be right. How about blanco? Blanco is like blank which is like white. So, blanco is Spanish for the color white.
Try to make some logical connections about the accounting vocabulary. Take the word - accounting - and think about it. Really, the accounting system is a basic counting of what goes on in your business.

I find the link on accounting very entertaining and interesting. But, I was stuck in the article about the hip replacement recall. 93,000 devices that may cause harm to patients is quite a big number. I hope they can trace the implants immediately.
