no he got taught by a man named Thyrker.
As was tradition with the Vikings, Leif did not grow up with his family. Instead, when he was eight he moved in with a man named Thyrker. Thyrker was from Germany where Eric the Red had captured him, had taken him to Iceland, but had not enslaved him. Thyrker taught Leif everything he needed to know, including reading and writing runes, the Celtic and Russian tongue, and the ways of trade. Leif was also taught the old sagas, plant studies, and the use of weapons.
He never went to school. But a man named Thyrker made him study everything he needed to know
When Leif Ericson was a child in 8 years old he moved with a guy named Thyrker, was a person from Germany.
The man that taught Leif Eriksson was Thyrker
On his first trip to Canada his crew included members from trips to Norway but many had already crewed the ship to their New World destination. They had been on the very same boat when Bjarni came within sight of a heavily treed land. We also know that the man he spent much of his early life with was with him Thyrker. I wouldn't call him crew mate, as he may very well have been the Captain or First Mate though history does not say so.
