ENG General Discussion in English
Forum for discussion of general topics in English. Welcome!
Hey there,
How long did it take for you to learn English?
And where did you learn it?
I learned a lot from games and movies, but learned a lot in school too.
I probably took 4 serious years of learning, which made me an okay speaker.
How about you guys?

T.V. and books mostly, didn't take me any effort at all. Grade-and middle-school English was a walk through the park.

I spoke a fair amount of English on a daily base for about 5 years. My writing is terrible but when I speak I mostly get confused for someone from 'somewhere in GB' even by the brits. Whereabouts they cant tell me.

It took 5 minutes of watching the lad. And then I understood, he was just a bloody insurance salesman. After that I regret deeply the 5 minutes of learning to know the English guy. Now I am best friend with a bloke, called Ireland.
Just keep actively using it on a regular base.quote:

It all started with Runescape in 2005, then other games, the internet and movies with ondertiteling, movies with English subtitles and then movies without subtitles and then school for the hard grammar and some extra practice.

Games, movies, series, music, computers, programming, site owner, reading English books since i was a child, long holidays far abroad, English magazines, English spoken household (due to Swedish wife), and living outside Holland. Only Dutch i experience is actually Fok! and some other Dutchies that are in my neighbourhood.
I think that over the last years 95% (if not more) of my thoughts even are in English. If it would be up to me Fok! would change fully into an English site. Would also mean we get rid of a bunch of the current trolls.
I tend to believe that when it comes to writing my English is better than my Dutch writing as for spelling errors

Started when I was 10 in secondary school, then in grammar school of course, and ended up doing a BA in English Language and Literature.
Have been living in the UK for 4.5 years now, and have been told to have a proper Barnsley accent of which I'm very proud

Ja doei.
I think I'm still learning. Can you ever stop learning?
For example Southpark or streetlanguage (by hiphop). We are never done learning.
I think I am rather well in English and still make a lot of mistakes.
At school I had al lot of English, but not until the "mavo." Than the meao, and it continued on the heao, but only till the second year.
Of course the were movies, but music lyrics were very important for me. That was the most important source for speaking in normal conversations ( as in non- business language like V.A.T.- vallue added taxes - and that kind of business/ tax language).
Still, I think we do not have to be ashamed for not speaking or writing fluently English. As long as they understand what we are talking about, and as they don't speak Dutch. .
We often speak 3 languages, the avarage Englishman speaks two languages at most.
