I had to take a German language class (won’t say the location), but in the group...besides Syrians, Iraqis, and Turks...was one Palestinian guy (maybe 19).

It took me two class meetings to assess his IQ-level being around 80-to-85 (wasn’t that bad with Syrians or Iraqis...non-existent problem with Turks).

About four weeks into the class, you could tell that this was tiring to deal with the kid. I didn’t say much...doubt if this German lady (degreed and extremely good at her job) knew about this IQ problem with certain Arab cultures.

Oddly, some Catholic Church had sponsored him for six months of language training in Germany. At the end, he went ‘home’.
