   I never heard of your BANGS when I was learning French, and I'm glad I   
   didn't. I think it would have slowed down my learning.   
      
   I did learn "Every good boy deserves fruit", and it badly hurt my   
   ability to sight-read music [1]. A school friend of mine, a music   
   teacher, wanted to shoot the person who invented that one.   
      
   [1] I finally did learn to sight-read on the treble clef, but I'm still   
   struggling with the bass clef. And that's despite my singing bass in a   
   choir.
