16. I talk to Fins regularly online. I'm pretty smart but they all make me feel
feel woefully behind. I took Latin but can't remember most of it. They took it and actually USE it in conversation, decades after leaving school. That's just one example of how far ahead they are of just about everyone else. Simply put, they love to learn. They learn not just to pass tests. And once they learn something they retain it and use it in daily life.
Sometimes I feel like they're studying ME to figure out why Americans are happy with not knowing and remembering things from school. I was told that Latin is something that I should never have let slip away from memory. And you know what? I agree.
