When you hear a multiplication problem spoken out loud, it's read as "# times #" the first number is the number of which you will be multiplying, and the second number is the amount of times you will be adding that number.
So if it were 4 times 2, it would be the starting number four, and then add 4 to 4.
Which is 8
4*2= 4+4
and..
4*3= 4+4+4 and so on.
So yeah, multiplication is a shortcut of addition in a way...
