illiteracy

I figured out that I am illiterate in more than 100 languages. When people think you are illiterate. They think about English. Or whatever language is spoken in the country you are in at that moment. But the reality is that there are so many languages out there. That just because you can read and write in one or two like in my case. There are so many languages. That I never will be able to read and write in. There has to be someone out there who can speak in more than 20 languages. But we don't know them. Because that is not a skill that is cared about much. We don't care about that kind achievement. Even though its a skill just as hard as anything else we care about. But education doesn't start teaching kids foreign languages early. Like they do in other countries. My cousins can read and write in 3 languages. Because the education system required that.
