For those of you who learned English as a second language (1 Viewer)

What was it like and when did you start learning it? If you know more than your native language and English, was it harder to learn English or the other language?

I started seriously learning it when I was 4, but because I was surrounded by English speakers it was easy to learn.

Been learning it since Kindergarten and it's all the same when it comes to reading or writing any 3 of the languages I can speak. It's when I am angry or trying to organize my thoughts does it get difficult. I tend to start discussing in one language, add a few English words in the middle and end my argument in a completely different language

Mmmm yes and now. I think verb tenses were my nightmare but it was easy to learn vocabulary by watching series, movies, or reading books. My native language is a Latin language so not really similar to English in vocabulary or grammar... And I can't say that I know it better than my native language, there are still some idioms and words that just sound different and are, maybe, easier to use

I'm learning English and I can't vouch for this site 10 Great Online English Courses for Beginners, I know that there are many ways of learning languages and what it works for me, maybe won't work for everyone, but I want to contribute by giving my own experience and what turned out to be the best option In my personal experience, tell me yours? what helped you, or what are you doing to learn another language?

When I was three/ four I was surrounded by English speakers, but I still couldn’t really speak the language except for a few words like yes and no haha. Starting at five after I really came to live in the US, I learned English very quickly since I had to speak it all day in school, but I remember being really scared and nervous bc I couldn’t really understand that well in the beginning. :’)
