I don't remember ever specifically learning it but probably around the same time as I learnt that Asia is also not a country. But I do hear it referred to as a country so clearly some people still haven't!!

Erm I had an atlas book when I was really tiny. So I would assume I've know a very very long time. Probably when the continents formed or something

Yep had the reverse issue, only realised that South Africa was an actual country at ~23 after a casual conversation with a stranger who got quite annoyed with me for getting stuck in a loop of "which country - south Africa - but which country", was very embarrassing. I actually have immigrant relatives there but through my childhood everyone only ever mentioned city names. Must have thought they were like Luxembourg Monaco and the Vatican city!

Probably in my teens.

We we're taught geography in Primary school and in secondary it was all rocks and rivers.

I can't remember exactly when I heard of a country in Africa, but I'm guessing it was South Africa when it was on the news.

Growing up we were mostly taught about France and French stuff.

We had a huge atlas from Reader's Digest I used to pore over, but was more interested in the solar system and gem stones.

Africa is easy, I was told. But I have trouble understanding the UK, Great Britain and the British Isles.

Travelling

I don't really remember. I've always had an interest in animals, and there really is no "bigger" place than Africa for big wildlife. I knew which countries certain animals were more numerous native, or associated with.

So I've known africa itself is not a country for a long ass time. As to when thst was, I can't say.

When I was about 10 or 11 our Geography teacher referred to it as the Continent of Africa, that would have been 1950/1951 can't be exact.
