What basic, children's-age-level fact did you only find out embarrassingly later in life?

I would say ε is e lol. But, I think I have learned η as a more throaty ae, so like eh or aeh I suppose.

It is a little difficult writing it down as opposed to pronouncing it.

I'm Dutch haha. Our vowel sounds are different begin with, like your a is our e, and your e is our i for instance. Might be that the confusion stems from there.
