As a teacher during the times of conversion up here - which is a process,
still going on, some just don't get it, it's a bit of a study - I found the
most effective way to get thinking in terms of Kilometres (some spell
Kilometers), was to go for a 1k walk. Soon you can eyeball a kilometre.

Shorter distances memorize 15 cm = 1 foot

Jolly small feet over there!

It seems that if one ***has not*** memorized the number of feet and yards in
a mile, one will not come to understand Metric distances...

Everybody shd grow some grapes in containers!
