I learned the multiplication table in first grade. I knew how to write, read, and draw—properly—by then as well (Kindergarten and preschool was for me to adjust languages). Electronics, media, and such are a bad effect on the younger children (pues, older people too...) Books have lost value other than for people who actually want to learn or read stories or whatnot. I knew the basics of two languages by third grade, and I'm learning two more right now. The people that don't know the basics of even one language? ???!
EDIT: That last part didn't turn out how I wanted it to (without tone marks because those are annoying af)... ???! was supposed to be the characterized version of: tai huai le!
