Default How did you learn English?

This is for poeple that don't speak english at home

I was talking to a friend that I know from the internet, and he says that he picked it up watching movies and listening to music.

so I was just woundering how you learned it?

School
Internet
TV/Movies
Music
Friends/Family...

..... or altavista is my best friend

I've learnt english at school, with music and internet but I didn't pratice for
about 5 years. I started again with JW that is a very interesting way to
improve it, but sometime frustrating cause I'm not sure everybody
understand messages I post. I've learnt lot's of important for a classic
conversation new words like "holly cr.." or "It pi.. me off", thanks for it

When I was 4 and a half years old I moved with my parents and bro to London as my dad got a well paid job offer and life was much easier there compared to the harsh early 90's in Poland. I spent 6,5 years in London, i finished primary school, my dad's contract expired and we had to return. Kinda sucks...British people have a way better sense of humour then the people around here

Now I learn English 3 times a week at school and also at Jabbas World

learned my first words in... kindergarten, you know the basic: gallina-hen, pollito-chicken
then in my school i had one year of 90% classes in english, so I only had one hour per week of spanish
then 4 hours of english each day at school
after elementary, in high school my english level dropped a lot because I only had 2 or 3 hours a week of dissapointing lessons

and now I'm still learning, and from a year to now I'm trying to remember basic stuff, all because Im in JW

Reading all of your posts in this thread is kind of an eye opener. I don't think that I would have the time or patience to learn another language. Good show, gents.
