maidoan97 743 Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 For me: - School obv. I hate memorizing but I have to admit that did help me a lot - English novels - allkpop. Checking an English website everyday helped me a lot in reading - asianfanfics (you don't know how many words I learned from there ) - Disney Channel (began watching them in elementary. I would try to understand everything without subtitles, or try to figure out what they were saying from the subtitles) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hqnnik 1,528 Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 I learnt it by myself even though school helped me. Growing up with a Chinese dialect speaking family didn't help me. I love reading a lot and I'm still intent on continuing to perfect my English. I'm a grammar Nazi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lloris 15 Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 The english course I took mainly because at school the english here is very lagged, you'll probably only learn how to count until 10 and "to be" verb. But outside it, internet helped in writing and reading, also english songs and series to listening and pronunciation, mainly british sitcoms because most of them can't be found subbed here so it forces the listening to improve.
