As a high school teacher myself at the time, I stopped
across from a school where three boys were having lunch
outside on a wall built around it. I asked them their
ages and 12 was the median. We talked awhile and I asked
them how many languages they spoke. They argued in Welsh
(I presume) for awhile and then each listed what he
spoke. Each told me five, not all the same, but each
spoke five languages and studied Latin as well. Needless
to say I was impressed, and a little discouraged for our
kids in USA. But still it was memorable.
