Do these work? Or are they just made because they were thought to be a good idea without any science to back it up?

Those kinds of things can hep a bit but they're supplements to regular learning. Regular learning being studying, conversation, or consuming content in English. The number one method I see on here for learning English is people that grew up with a lot of things they watch/listen/do in English, but that's much harder to do as adults.
playing video games when i was a kid
also i had some english books so that was even better for me. the key is to start learning (apart from school) when you're -10 y.o

>muh critical period
>>57295835
i'm not implying that you won't learn english if you don't start as a kid, but it's going to make everything easier and quicker
70% of argies probably don't have a basic english level, even if they have to learn it in school, nobody seems to give a fuck

I go to a English Academy but, honestly, most of English that I learned was by Internet. I have a great capacity memorizing
English Academy and media in english. Videogames, books and chinese cartoon subtitles in english.

I was referring to the not-that-fucking-obvious things. Anyway you would be surprised how many people don't care about english in school so.

by growing up in an english speaking country
When i started browsing 4chan.
I watched tons of sitcoms, starting with Two and a Half Men (I'm sorry) and then moved on to Seinfeld and such. After that, I consumed mostly English-language media, movies, books, music, everything. I'm pretty much undistinguishable from a native US speaker when it comes to vocab and accent, at least so I've been told in the states.
Unfortunately I never read high literature in English, except for the Token Shakespeare play in school. I read Poe but that was it. When it comes to philosophy and such I just stick to German because German philosopher and poets are based as fuck and our language is severly underrated.
We had a good teacher who taught us pretty well. Everything else comes from American cultural influence. It's pretty sad really, even our Uni-teacher, who is american, told us that Finns pronounce English better than almost everyone else he has ever met. We are anglocucked.

Looks like you need some more practice.
>>57301046
Do you think there was a period when 4chan corrupted your English when you were first starting out?
>>57301271
Finns really hate bad pronunciation of English from themselves. It's actually intolerable for them, a cultural Finn cannot live with the thought of a Finn pronouncing English wrong. This has lead to a situation where actually everyone is a fluent english speaker and at the same time hates their country for being not anglo enough.

why'd you ask? Is something wrong with my english?
>>57301860
Your English is fine, but 4chan almost has its own variant of English. It makes me feel like there might be some people who use 4chan a lot to learn English but don't know the difference between 4chan English and real life English. The difference is difficult to explain, but it's definitely there.

Post vocaroo, I would like to hear your Finnglish
>>57302005
Not him, but going to the Southern US on exchange fucked my grammar a bit.
For example I stopped saying "I've already done..." and started saying "I already did" which is technically wrong
