sparkle dust 1,841 Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 I noticed alot of users on here are not from English dominant countries... How did you learn english? Was it hard to learn? What are your thoughts on the language? I personally grew up in a country where English is an official language so like I learned just by living here since a very young age (Canada) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liliana 7,771 Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 Music and television when I was super young, around 9/10 years you start learning it in school English was kinda easy to learn, and I don’t know what I really think of the language I’m kinda neutral about it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Princess Yelena 98 Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 I was 5 when I start learning it in school, but I learned a lot by watching movies, TV shows, listening music, playing games.. I am really bad at English grammar, but I know a lot of worlds, and I sound fluent when I am speaking it (people from USA i met said that).

Ðœimi 5,933 Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 I started with English lessons in 3th grade but I learned it intensively by listening to music, watching movies/tv shows in English (the main reason tbh. I could never wait until they were dubbed in my language.), reading English books and browsing on English websites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MeiLyn 1,153 Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 Grew up in a country where English is the official language(not a native English speaking country). When I was 10, moved to a country where English is thought from 3rd grade onwards. English is the language I speak with almost all my friends and the language I use the most.

neosoul 546 Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 When I first moved to the U.S. when I was 9, I watched a lot of Disney Channel and cartoons. Although, I could already communicate efficiently in English, because it's in the curriculum in the Philippines, and almost a second language to most people.

layixings 100 Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 english is important in my country so we learned it in school but i don't think the lessons at school are enough so i learned more by myself through dramas, movies and books Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elleven 597 Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 I'm from the Philippines, and English is our second language. We learned it side by side with our main one which is Tagalog. Speaking it outside formal settings was weird, most never really spoke in full English sentences in my region, kinda associate it to being snobby. Only became fluent when I moved to the US, I lost that pure Filipino accent, but I still have an accent, if that makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bellendciaga 7,198 Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 when I was younger my parents would speak English to me at times, I watched a lot of English cartoons/shows too. I also did extra English classes at school because I loved it a lot but I've been living in an English-speaking country for years now so yeah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gilean 649 Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 I started learning English in school in 4th grade but was really bad at it until I got interested in manga in 7th grade and had to learn it to be able to read the series that I wanted. In 8th grade I also started streaming movies and tv series online and they didn’t have subs in my mother language so that helped my English a lot too.
