In addition to the physical, the boy’s martial arts instructors also teach the students a little Korean. The younger kids learn to count to 5 as well as the Korean words for “block” and “kick”- stuff like that. The older kids are taught more and are tested on it regularly.
We were trying to help the boy out last night and the Wife was going over some of the words with him when she asked him to count to 10. Having only been in the new class a couple of times, I expected he might remember only a couple of the numbers from 6 to 10.
Well, darned if he didn’t remember them all. I was so surprised that I started joking with him about it “I didn’t know you knew all those numbers! Are you learning stuff without us knowing about it?”
He quipped back “That’s OK Dad, I didn’t even know I knew how to do it.”

That’s how it starts … 🙂
