I learned how to read/write in my native language in 2 weeks. I learned half of alphabet first, then I figured out second part on my own, because our language has simple rule: "read what you see, write what you hear".

Group dynamic suggests that average education level will be higher in first case, while education level of elite will be higher in second case.
