For non-native English speakers, how did you first learn English?
For me, it's from Runescape. Played it starting grade 2 and improved my English form there. Kindergarten and 1st grade were a struggle. I think cartoons helped me a bit as well.

This is the first time I've ever said this, but I hope you're French Canadian and not some chink.
By watching cartoons and reading comics.
Post a vocaroo of you doing the snake thing.
Cartoon Network and vidya
Mostly at school. We have a good teacher, sometimes we were watching cartoons in english or singing songs.

runescape was my teacher, also the simpsons
Simpsons was such a good teaching tool.
Playing Nintendo 64 games and using a dictionary.
Through immersion in the US
Playing runescape, wow and ps2 games
Also shows that aired in the evening like simpsons, friends, frasier and conan o'brian
At school. Like every other kid. They don't teach you English at school? Fucking savages.

I remember playing some basic mma game when I was a little kid and some guy in chat asked me for directions to a shop and I answered him
I was so proud I had to tell my parents
>tfw Indians literally think Germans, Italians, French and Russians are uneducated when they can't speak English because English = education in India
all that banter against Britishers is just coping lmao
I assume it's the same all around the world: you learn a second language in school, but you don't retain it because you never took it seriously
English unironically is the first language in Indian schools because it's a unifying language across India. We have our mother tongue as second language.
>you learn a second language in school
yeah nah
Idk what's it like in other countries but here education is abysmal so if you don't learn English/German or any other language by yourself you will never make it
By the 8th grade you still have to repeat present simple because some brainlets are struggling
Runescape here too
He's obviously a chink, every French-Canadian kid has grown up learning English in school and hearing it in the media every day. All but the most rural insular Quebecers can understand English fine.
>grown up learning English in school and hearing it in the media every day
Wow, how unique.
Unironically Yas Forums.
From watching tv and playing video games.
Then when I was around 10 years old we started getting English in school. But I already knew most of what we learned.
And in online video games you could also chat with other people online.
I never did.
Euros don't live in a country where English is an official language and where most of the population speaks English as a native language. Like 30% of even Quebec speak English as a first language, especially in Montreal.
In France nobody speaks English either.
And in Belgium most people from Flanders speak Dutch, English and French. While people from Wallonia only speak French, despite being a minority.

Newgrounds. And it was pretty sudden, I didnt even realize when I learned it, I went from failing all my english exams and being stuck in A2 level to being top of my class.
