"We started to talk about our school days and how he came to learn a few Vietnamese words."

"Schooling" means "education at school" while "school days" means " the period of your life when you spend at school" Best wishes Monalisatuan Joined on Mon, Dec 24 2007 hcmcity Full Member 135 quangtuan Languages
