How did you learn to speak / write in english?

[Evan_]

I've learned english from watching cartoons and playing video games since i was like 4-5 years old. I have to say that the school didn't teached me a thing about english, all the verbs and how they'r perfect or imperfect i've learned from typing on forums.

Same here exactly. Although the wording suggests that it's the schools fault - I just always had better ways to spend my time back than than attending to classes or actually learning for those.

Though I had a head-start on the verbal part 'cause of hitch-hiking trough Europe a few times, first with relatives, later with girlfriends. It's easy to overcome shyness and uncertainty by trying it with people who also struggle with English.

By the way,
***didn't teach*** <-- one past is enough. Chrome's built in spellchecker knows that much, it's also a great tool for us that learned the language from Cartoon Network and Zork.

edit: Oh, a white smiley with glory. I definitely like the new forum look.
