1. Parents
2. 16 years ago
3. Its usefull
4. Easy

I grew up in the 80's/early 90's. Back then we had cable and watched american cartoons. I'm not sure exactly how i learned it but i was fluent before we started learning it in third grade.
English and norwegian is very similar. Even more similar than norwegian and german. Same word order, same grammar and even many of the same words so it is very easy to pick up for us.

Why don't you like it? French should be easier now that you know English though, right?
>>59927984
>>59928167
What languages do you think in?
>>59928370
I'm memeing.
French is closer to Spanish than to English, I just had bad teachers with bad methods.
Most of the time in Spanish, sometimes I think in English.
1. Everyone first worlder should know English by default, you shouldn't need any actual "reason"
2. English classes in Finland start around age of nine if that's what you are asking
3. It's okay
4. After learning Finnish? ayy lmao
5. Finnish. Never bothered to learn Swedish, crawled through the mandatory lessons with lowest scores possible

Fuck I feel autistic but all of them... english when I´m alone and spanish when i´m at school but it happens that I begin using english randomly
>>59928342
Norwegian sounds cool
I use english so much nowadays so i often experience remembering the english word before the norwegian word when im searching for a word or a phrase i cant remember
>>59928452
>>59928550
That's trippy man
>>59927861
1. School, but I started studying it earlier because I wanted to be able to better understand the video games I was playing.
2. 8 years old
3. I don't remember, I guess I was probably indifferent towards it
4. Easy
5. Dutch obviously, but I also speak basic German and French. I also tried (and subsequently failed at) studying Japanese.
>>59928789
>Speaking 4 languages
Nigga how do you find the time?
1. Easy to find stuff only online if you speak english, the amount of media and content in english is amazing. Also, to work as a programmer, english is a must.
2. When I was around 18yo (8 years ago) I decided to take it serious
3. I hated it in middle and high school, but I grew to love it after adult
4. Nah, I've had english classes in school since I was 8, but I only started getting interesting in it when I was 18 like I said before. The basic structure of english is not that far from portuguese
5. That's about it
>>59928550
Well I did not knew that I was being this autistic.
>>59928871
It's not that difficult for me, desu senpai. Dutch is my native tongue, so that's obviously a given. English has basically been ingrained into my brain by now and I live pretty close to the German border, so I also get plenty of opportunities to speak Deutsch.The lack of moments where I can actually speak French or Japanese are obviously the reasons why my French is extremely rusty and why I failed so hard at studying Japanese (protip: just doing the exercises from Genki on your own is not a proper substitute for having actual conversations).
It's also probably worth mentioning that in the Netherlands, French and German are required subjects in secondary education (that's equivalent to American and Canadian middle + high school, right?).

Learned to play yu gi oh/ learned playing yu gi oh

>1. Why did you learn English?
To play pic related, among other things..
>2. When?
Starting from age 4 or 5 or something I guess. Basically from the first time I ever used the 386 DOS/Win3.14 crossboot PC my mom set up for me.
>3. Do you like it?
What's to like or dislike? It's a very decent skill to have, not to say invaluable..
>4. Was it hard/easy for you?
It went very gradual and naturally, so very easy. I can't remember ever putting a serious effort into it.. I mostly just learned because I wanted to play my vidya. Subtitled cartoons and movies also helped a lot.
>5. What other languages do you speak?
Dutch and a bit of German.. I can understand German fairly well. Also a tiny bit of French, basically just enough to ask for directions and buy things.
