"We have our own schools here, it’s from 6 to 12 years old. It’s 6 months a year, right now they’ve started the winter holidays. There they learn, well, first to write and read, and then to count, and then language. Here we speak Low German, but at school they learn High German, same at mass, the ministers spoke High German, and the bible is in High German as well. If I write, I write in High German, because that’s how I learned.They learn a little religion as well, but they really learn it later, when they’ll go to mass, you know?And after that just farm work!"Gerardo Banman, 57
