You must understand first what you are learning. Otherwise you can`t make the connections between what you know already and what you are learning now and in future.

If it's latin, and it seems to be, it's something about books (liber) first (primer) and begin (incipit).

I think "lifelong" learning begins when a child is born and begins observing things around him - comprehending light, vision, movement, and so forth.  His abilities to reason begin then.

Languages are best learned between the ages of 1-6. At that point the number of language that can be aquired is limitless, literally. The older we get the harder it is to learn a new language because languages are rule-governed and the rules are not always the kind you can pin-point unless you study language. It is widely accepted that to carry on with conversational speech in a new language an adult must have been studying at least 7 years. This number is not just a coincidence with the 6 year span in which a child learns language. Hearing the language and seeing how the language is used is the best thing for him.  And the reason that English is one of the most difficult languages to learn is that we frequently borrow words from thousands of different origins.  So English words dont necessarily follow one specific pattern. Additionally, he has to learn syntax of a new language which refers to the rules governing the word order of forming sentences.  It takes more than simply learning vocabulary.  It is also very limiting to try to teach someone a new language if you dont know the differences between the old and the new.   One suggestion I can give you is to teach him word components like prefixes and suffixes and define them so that he can begin to extract meaning from words which can serve as a foundation to build upon. Language is infinitely complex. It sounds to me like he is doing a fine job and is putting in the effort.  you will just have to encourage him to keep learning.

I recomend using this as your main point:  \n\nWhat it means to be educated is developing the ability to think critically or critically analyze things.  It does not mean committing to memory every fact you have ever come across.  It means getting acquainted w/ certain fundamentals and understanding and using those skills to PROBLEM SOLVE.  \n\nDefine some terms, Use examples to illustrate, summarize a conclusion and your Done Man!

On an average, ppl know 20% of the words in an Oxford dictionary which counts to 50% of what they know.. So the 20% of the total number of words in the dictionary multiplied by 2 gives u the number of words an average englsih speakin person knows.
