Though US born. I grew up between the Manila and Montreal in the very early 70s, mid to late 70s was mostly Montreal.
Montessori was my first school and in Montreal, it was bilingual. English and French of course.
I wish I could remember more about it. I remember some things, like sitting in class and learning to write 3 letter words. It was interesting to me that while I could read easy words, I didn’t have the mind to hand coordination to write well at that age. Like many of us, I’m sure.
What a time to be born. No computers or internet. For the most part, TV had about 3 channels and the one we had was in black and white and had an antennae.
I learned to read in the 70s. It was the only thing really to do, and I’m thankful for that. I have read a lot of books over my lifetime. Sometimes out of boredom and other times from curiosity. Books without pictures got me imagining how things played out and I learned to visualize what things would be if the stories came alive.
I love this tweet. is it still called a tweet?
