I remember my first ever French lesson. The homework assignment was to find out how you spelled "yes" and "no" in French. When my dad told me "yes" was "O...U...I...", I didn't believe him

When my dad told me "yes" was "O...U...I...", I didn't believe him I can't think of any words in English that are made up of all vowels. I know there are some, but they're bizarre words that no person in the real world would use or can even pronounce. Is it common for young children to start learning second languages at a young age in England, or is that a result of your patrician upbringing?

The linguistics folks don't really consider "Y" a proper or true vowel as I understand it. Know any without a "y"?

I was 11 when I took it. Where I went they let some kids (approx 30 each) take French or Spanish in 8th grade. The other kids can opt to take a language beginning in 9th. I suspect this varies widely from district to district and state to state. I really think second languages should start much earlier. 2nd or 3rd grade even.
