I was wondering

[penguinaz]

Technically English is the second language I learned... But it is the only language I need to speak, so it is more like a first language by now.

I've been somehow "connected" with English since I was 4 years old. At that time, I got my first computer and I somehow managed to change language to English (I still use English on my computer ).

I started learning English in school when I was 8 years old. Here in Slovenia you have to know at least one foreign language to finish high school succesfully. That can also be German, Italian etc. but the majority choose English.

Despite the fact that many of you do, I don't think in English.

And how should I do to understand what people are saying? Now I'll almost all the text I translate, but I started to learn words, and I almost at once I had the question: what is the differents wetween the words "teach" and "learn". The sense (also use the word "meaning" or other, why?) is the twince. And another, you have a link to the most useful words in English languahe?

Even having english as a native language, at times it is very complex. I learnt german for 6 years and found it very structured and nice whereas english seems to have very few patterns and rules have many words that do not fit. Also english does not have a case system unlike many european languages so that was fun to lean(not) and is why you have really strange plurals mouse to mice and die to dice, that have been leftover from the case system

Well, as I wrote, first you need to learn the words to a little bid to be guaided in said. Then you can started wathing films and TV movies on English with subtitles. But better, if you start to talk on Skype with friends on English.

I could speak better English than almost everyone in my family when I was around 7. I used to watch series and movies all in English with subtitles. I almost speak better English than Dutch...

I know your feeling - I also quite often speak in English better then in Latvian (my native) The funny thing is - I'm in Latvia, but most of my friends are foreigners so I mostly speak in English rather then in Latvian
