Non-anglophones, is this a thing you can relate to? I've never been told "das Mitochondrium ist das Kraftwerk der Zelle" or anything like it, at least not nearly to the extent that anglophones seem to, so much so that it's forever burnt into their brain folds apparently.

All of us who learned Spanish in the U.S. also know "¿Dónde está la biblioteca?"

Just a bunch of canned phrases like that kicking around in our brains.

All I remember from Spanish class is "no en nintendo"
