This is a problem really gets me wonder 'What is Googology?' during the summer, and I ended up reading about it. When I wrote this I was in my last days of high school, coming across a instagram reel gives the question of comparing $2^{100!}$ and $(2^{100})!$ (the reel was just making fun about math), we ended up arguing about this and come up with different methods to proof our ideas.

When I was in primary school, a weekend morning when I just woke up, I heard two voices in a wierd tone that I couldn't understand. But I then realized it was my parents talking about something in mandarin, before realizing it I didn't recognize the language they were speaking, and that was super interesting.

Because I come to that 'aha' moment through thinking the sentence: "What are they talking about?(他们在说什么?)" (In Mandarin Chinese, which is the only language I spoke at the moment) in my head. Then I just found the string of sounds they are speaking becomes familiar and interpretable. So yes, I think my answer to the problem is that people, at least people who have learned to speak one language, think in terms of language; that might not be a conclusive answer to the question, it is the best one I can get.

It's such a wierd idea to compare a natural language to programming langueges, since I have put some thought into this, I'd better write it out.

## Learning

The Chinese language is known for it's difficulty to learn; personally, I don't think this is true, every language have the same difficulty to learn, as they are created equally complex with the equal intellectuals of the human mind. However, a number of factors may influence one's perception on that. To English speakers, Chinese might be the most distinct language to encounter compared to English.
