Though I attended an American school for Kindergarten, as a third language, I didn’t use English often enough so was put in ESL class upon arriving in the US for first grade. It was most memorable for filling me in on American culture and way of life and one thing that stands out was learning how to set the table–placemat and all. This was the simple version. I could not believe how much cutlery was involved in a full setting. Such a contrast to a pair of chopsticks and perhaps a Chinese soup spoon.
