[b]Playing videogames in English, watching movies in English, reading in English, etc.. Wasn't too hard, once I understood the basics, I more or less taught myself.[/b]
75. For Scandinavians, kinda off-topic but: how many other Scandinavian languages do you know? I ask because apparently more than a few of you guys can speak at least one or two other Scandinavian languages with at least basic conversation level. Do you get a sense of that?
76. (Got this idea from Yzoo) When thinking, do you think in your native tongue or English, or a bit of both?
[b]English, actually. Don't really know why :v:[/b]
[/QUOTE]
@timmyvos: I started learning Englich in 3rd grade, but I think it's 2nd now. I'd consider that pretty early
1. When did you start learning English? Would you consider yourself fully fluent now?
I started to learn English at school 5 years ago. I could consider myself fluent but my accent is terrible.
2. Can you type it better than speak it, or vice versa?
I type very slowly, even in French.
3. How often do you use English off the Internet?
Daily. I also play video games in English when the French voice acting sucks.
4. Anything particularly weird or frustrating about English you know of?
I think it's not a very precise language, compared to German or even French.
76. (Got this idea from Yzoo) When thinking, do you think in your native tongue or English, or a bit of both?
I always think in my native tongue.
[I]1. When did you start learning English? Would you consider yourself fully fluent now?
[/I]
- I conciser myself completely fluent, I started learning it alongside Norwegian since I was born.
[I]2. Can you type it better than speak it, or vice versa?
[/I]
- Hell, I can both write and speak English better then I can my native language. :v:
[I]3. How often do you use English when not on the Internet?
[/I]
- At home I speak English with my mom. Also, I speak "soup Norwegian" meaning I tie in a lot of English words in my vocabulary when I speak. So, all the time really.
[I]4. Anything particularly weird or frustrating about English you know of?
[/I]
- Nah, easiest language I know.
[I]9. If you didn't learn English from school, how did you learn it? Was it difficult?
[/I]
- Learned it from my mom from a really early age. As I said, it wasn't difficult at all.
[I]75. For Scandinavians, how many other Scandinavian languages do you know?
[/I]
- I can speak Norwegian, alongside Danish and Swedish pretty fluent. If I really concentrate I can understand some Icelandic as well as German, considering Norwegian is tied up to Germanic roots, as are a lot of languages.
1. When did you start learning English? Would you consider yourself fully fluent now?
Since as long as I can remember - I even went to an English class in my kindergarden.
And yeah, I think I'm fully fluent.
2. Can you type it better than speak it, or vice versa?
Equal
3. How often do you use English off the Internet?
Not very often.
4. Anything particularly weird or frustrating about English you know of?
2 words: schedule and squirrel - I can't EVER spell them right.
9. If you didn't learn English from school, how did you learn it? Was it difficult?
I used to go to special classes, but those closed about 3 years ago, after that I mostly just learned from the internet and Facepunch (there was this thing called Smartness - it really helped me).
It wasn't very difficult, but I have a problem (probably because I'm only learning from the internet):
I don't know how to read shit like /ˈɪŋɡlɪʃ/, and I don't know names of verb tenses.
76. (Got this idea from Yzoo) When thinking, do you think in your native tongue or English, or a bit of both?
A bit of both I'd say.
I think I think in English more than in Russian now...
[QUOTE=LiquidNazgul;33493209]1. When did you start learning English? Would you consider yourself fully fluent now?[/quote]I started around third grade. It caught on me quite early, I had way less problems than my classmates learning English at school and eventually left them in the dust (my classmates are still unable to type any well-formed sentence, especially using past tenses).
[QUOTE]2. Can you type it better than speak it, or vice versa?[/QUOTE]
I think I can type it better than I how speak it. I've never actually practiced spoken English more than too much. The only few times I speak English are during the English class, when I'm asked something.
[QUOTE]3. How often do you use English when not on the Internet? [/QUOTE]
Never, except when I'm at school, but in that case the use is very minimal.
[QUOTE]4. Anything particularly weird or frustrating about English you know of?[/QUOTE]
When I try to speak English I often end up subconsciously mixing English and Italian (my native language) words, often coming out with obnoxious creations like "livere" which is a mix between "to live" and "vivere" (which means "to live" as well).
[QUOTE]9. If you didn't learn English from school, how did you learn it? Was it difficult?[/QUOTE]
I learned mostly from the internet. It wasn't difficult at all; it's just a matter of long-term exposure to the language and observation of the way other people speak.
[quote]76. (Got this idea from Yzoo) When thinking, do you think in your native tongue or English, or a bit of both? [/QUOTE]
I usually think in Italian, but lately I've started thinking more and more often in English. It's quite amusing.
1. Around four years old, thanks to a certain Mr. MacGuyver. Yes.
2. About the same.
3. When cracking jokes about how silly englishmen are, ie, a lot.
4. Not really.
9. MacGuyver and pokemon. No.
75. Norwegian, Swedish (conversationally ok, not too well), danish, trondheimsk, bergensk, icelandish(old norse) and valdris.
76. Depends on where I am. If I'm talking English I think on English, if I'm talking Norwegian I'm thinking Norwegian.
1. When I was 5 years old. Not fully fluent, only somewhat.
2. Typing's better than speaking, I rarely have a chance to speak.
3. Only at school and when I'm helping others with translating stuff.
4. Sometimes I have no idea why some sentences look grammatically wrong.
9. I learned it from school, the internet and games.
76. I'm thinking in English only when alone, especially before I go to bed.
1. When did you start learning English? Would you consider yourself fully fluent now?
Started learning it in 5th grade (has been changed to 3rd some time ago) but I already knew basic sentences and words before.
Yes, I consider myself fluent in the English language.
2. Can you type it better than speak it, or vice versa?
For me it's definitely easier to type/write it than speak it, however I don't have a problem with talking in English and I can think of the correct sentences about as fast as in my native language, German.
It's just that I feel more "secure" when typing it.
3. How often do you use English off the Internet?
Mostly in school. Outside of school only if tourists ask for directions or something like that.
4. Anything particularly weird or frustrating about English you know of?
No, for me English is pretty easy and I even consider it to be easier than German.
9. If you didn't learn English from school, how did you learn it? Was it difficult?
I, as many other on FP, learned it from the internet. I started to play games online when I was about 12 or something and that really helped.
Learning English by watching TV isn't possible in Germany, because pretty much everything is dubbed, which is a shame.
Learning the language wasn't difficult at all, but maybe that's just me, because I'm a fast learner when it comes to languages.
76. (Got this idea from Yzoo) When thinking, do you think in your native tongue or English, or a bit of both?
It always changes, sometimes I think in my native language and sometimes in English and if I read something in English I don't translate it, same with when I write English texts like this one.
I think that's a sign that someone is pretty fluent in a language.
(to 75.: Even I as a German can read and understand many Swedish/Norwegian/Danish words, that's because they are all Germanic languages, so they are all related.)
[QUOTE=timmyvos;33494277]One remark though: You claim that the Germans also teach their children English from a young age. But as far as I know this isn't true. The Germans dub everything and that's a big factor in learning a language. If you can understand everything, why should you learn anything else?[/QUOTE]
Most of Germany's youth knows, more or less, the English language. It's just that many old people don't know the language at all or, if they do, not very well, because it wasn't taught in schools many years ago.
Nowadays everyone has to learn English from grade 3 to grade 9, at least it's like that in my state.
[QUOTE=LiquidNazgul;33493209]
1. When did you start learning English? Would you consider yourself fully fluent now?
[B]Started learning as early as when I was 4 or so. When I first learned to read I accidently learned the basics. I've been learning and improving my English speaking ever since. I'm fully fluent, but I still make mistakes sometimes.[/B]
2. Can you type it better than speak it, or vice versa?
[B]Barely any difference. There are some words I can't correctly say/write, but that's about it.[/B]
3. How often do you use English when not on the Internet?
[B]Very rarely. I may swear in English just to get away with it. My brain just made "FUCK" my default negative reaction word. It's funny. I might also speak English to impress my friends. Although, the knowledge of the English language has proven to be extremely useful to read, for example, instruction manuals, and to do essays for English class, and just blasting through every written test in English. 100% all the way.[/B]
4. Anything particularly weird or frustrating about English you know of?
[B]Nothing.[/B]
9. If you didn't learn English from school, how did you learn it? Was it difficult?
[B]I learned English both in school and in real life, through my old english computer, cartoons and films. The internet also helped alot. It took a huge while to be fully fluent, but it was definitly worth it.[/B]
76. (Got this idea from Yzoo) When thinking, do you think in your native tongue or English, or a bit of both?
[B]It depends on the situation. When playing a game, I think in English. When I do something else, I usually think in Portuguese.[/B][/QUOTE]
1. Pretty much since i was of a "sentient" age. That means roughly 3-4 years old. I don't consider myself fully fluent because it's still sometimes hard to write, speak or understand things.
2. Speaking is always easier for me since you don't have to pay attention to tenses so much.
3. Sadly, i barely use it outside of the internet. English classes at school and helping my girlfriend with her English is pretty much the only use i can find for it.
9. Didn't learn it from school, no. I don't really have a need for it at school at all. Learned it through cartoons on Cartoon Network, shows on the Discovery channel, games, and, of course, the internet.
76. Well, if it's not something really urgent or i'm just lost in thought, then yeah, it's quite common for me to think in English. Not only that, but i usually write all of my things in English. Can't really explain why. Probably just more pleasant to have it that way. I don't really like writing in Russian, mainly because the Cyrillic letters aren't as pretty.
[B]1. When did you start learning English? Would you consider yourself fully fluent now?[/B]
When I was 6, my neighbors who babysat me, began teaching it to me, while trying to make me play Starcraft. Then I kept learning and learning.
[B]2. Can you type it better than speak it, or vice versa?[/B]
I type/write it better, but I do speak it greatly too. The only problem is that I have my own big accent there, and that it makes some words sounds funky. But hey, I do that in my own language too. (No it's not a French accent, as we do not have that accent here in Québec at all)
[B]3. How often do you use English when not on the Internet?[/B]
Kinda often, when I feel like speaking English randomly, or at work doing orders, talking with distributors and to some english customers.
[B]4. Anything particularly weird or frustrating about English you know of?[/B]
Not really. Ah but while thinking about it, it takes more words to explain something accurately than in french.
[B]9. If you didn't learn English from school, how did you learn it? Was it difficult?[/B]
School barely ever taught me anything special about English, I learned it mainly by myself with help of my friends in my young ages, but once I began being on the internet more, my English knowledge raised mach 10 and I began fluently bilingual. So yeah, mainly by myself and with the internet.
[B]76. (Got this idea from Yzoo) When thinking, do you think in your native tongue or English, or a bit of both? [/B]
Both. Mainly in my native language though, but often in English too.
[B]1. When did you start learning English? Would you consider yourself fully fluent now?[/B]
When I was 10. More or less.
[B]2. Can you type it better than speak it?[/B]
Yes.
[B]3. How often do you use English when not on the Internet?[/B]
Never.
[B]4. Anything particularly weird or frustrating about English you know of?[/B]
The pronunciation and accents.
[B]76. (Got this idea from Yzoo) When thinking, do you think in your native tongue or English, or a bit of both?[/B]
Both, but mainly my native language.
1. When did you start learning English? Would you consider yourself fully fluent now?
7-8 years old. I liked that language and when i heard my sister learnimg it, it stuck with me.
2. Can you type it better than speak it, or vice versa?
Type better. I can think it through and correct mistakes.
3. How often do you use English when not on the Internet?
Swearing, tellimg some jokes, not that much
4. Anything particularly weird or frustrating about English you know of?
I can't remember which one is which of past simple, past perfect etc.
9. If you didn't learn English from school, how did you learn it? Was it difficult?
Started from home, TV, games. Not that hard to understand something.
75.
76. (Got this idea from Yzoo) When thinking, do you think in your native tongue or English, or a bit of both?
Both. Idk why.
Games teach a lot...
[B]1. When did you start learning English? Would you consider yourself fully fluent now?[/B]
I started learning English in school when I was 8. But before that I've watched shitloads of cartoons in English on Cartoon Network. So there wasn't nothing new to me in class.
[B]2. Can you type it better than speak it, or vice versa?[/B]
Before high-school I could speak better, because I had english class often and there wasn't much stuff involving grammar, tenses and ect... Right now I would have a hard time because:
[B]3. How often do you use English when not on the Internet? [/B]
I almost never use it outside of the pc ever since I finished high-school.
[B]4. Anything particularly weird or frustrating about English you know of?[/B]
Tenses. Goddamn tenses.
And once you know it pretty well, listening to your fellow-countrymen on the telly trying to use english like it's something cool becomes horribly awkward.
[B]9. If you didn't learn English from school, how did you learn it? Was it difficult?[/B]
Through watching a crapload of english cartoons on Cartoon Network.
[B]
76. (Got this idea from Yzoo) When thinking, do you think in your native tongue or English, or a bit of both? [/B]
Oh. Almost always in English. It's weird and really unsettling once I ponder about it, but I find thinking in my native language a bit "slower" and "clunkier" if that's even applicable to thoughts.
1. When did you start learning English? Would you consider yourself fully fluent now?
-At school. We started learning it in first grade, simple words like 'apple' and 'plane'. Singing songs like 'Ol' McDonald had a farm' and such, then more complex words then grammar. Now, in high school it's mostly it's mostly repetition and increasing writing skills(Writing stories and stuff).
2. Can you type it better than speak it, or vice versa?
-I guess, I have a tendency to pronounce words wrong and such, but that's very different from person-to-person. One of my friends almost sounds like he's British(When taught English we have a tendency to pronounce it 'the American way' since most English media(Movies etc) is American).
3. How often do you use English when not on the Internet?
-Quite a lot actually, but thats mostly cause my friends know enough English to have a conversation in it(Most things sounds way cooler in English to us, but I guess Norwegian sounds badass to some foreigners, I dunno). If it weren't for that I guess I'd only use it at school.
4. Anything particularly weird or frustrating about English you know of?
-I can't get a grip on some of the grammar, words have a different order in Norwegian.
9. If you didn't learn English from school, how did you learn it? Was it difficult?
-I guess I learned most of it from school, but the internet(Facepunch <3) perfected it.
75. For Scandinavians, kinda off-topic but: how many other Scandinavian languages do you know? I ask because apparently more than a few of you guys can speak at least one or two other Scandinavian languages with at least basic conversation level. Do you get a sense of that?
-Well, Norwegians, Danes and Swedes have very similar languages, so its easy reading Swedish or Danish for me, a Norwegian, but our languages are quite different when spoken. I can keep a conversation with a Swede, but I can't make out anything those filthy Danes say, with those guttural sounds they call a language(But we still love you guys).
76. (Got this idea from Yzoo) When thinking, do you think in your native tongue or English, or a bit of both?
-Sometimes when I forget words I happen to remember what they were in English, then I have to translate them. I guess I sometimes imagine conversations in English, but mostly I use my native language.
Do you dream in your native language, or in English?
I wish i had enough will power to learn another language, seems like it's really needed in the world today.
1. I started learning English back in kindergarten and continued during elementary school. I think I'm a pretty fluent speaker, but I kind'a begin to stutter while talking to native-speakers on school trips and I sometimes mix things up.
2. Actually, I was told today that I'm better at writing English than speaking it.
3. Pretty much every day, started to read the Necronomicon by Lovecraft a while ago. Don't even know if there's a German version of it, I'm reading it and some other books in English.
4. Sometimes it takes a bit longer to spell words with th, like strength... I mixed up where to put the th in the past, but today I'm used to it I think.
76. I mostly think in German, but sometimes there are also some English thoughts floating around.
[quote]1. When did you start learning English? Would you consider yourself fully fluent now?[/quote]
I started learning English in 1st grade. And yes, I would consider myself fluent. My English grades are better than my Norwegian ones :v:
[quote]2. Can you type it better than speak it, or vice versa?[/quote]
Both equally I guess.
[quote]3. How often do you use English when not on the Internet? [/quote]
I don't go around and talk 100% English to people, but here in Scandinavia it's extremely common to use English words in our daily talk. So a native English speaker will be able to hear some English words pop up here and there when we speak our native language. So daily.
[quote]4. Anything particularly weird or frustrating about English you know of?[/quote]
Not that I can think of.
[quote]9. If you didn't learn English from school, how did you learn it? Was it difficult?[/quote]
I learned English mainly through school, but movies, games etc have played a very important part.
[quote]75. For Scandinavians, kinda off-topic but: how many other Scandinavian languages do you know? I ask because apparently more than a few of you guys can speak at least one or two other Scandinavian languages with at least basic conversation level. Do you get a sense of that?[/quote]
I'm not very good at speaking Swedish and Danish, but I fully read and understand the languages to the point where I can easily follow a Dane or Swede talking to me. I usually just reply back in Norwegian because most Scandinavians understand each other. Though Danish is a tad harder to understand because the language is quite "thick", as if they got something stuck in their throat.
[quote]76. (Got this idea from Yzoo) When thinking, do you think in your native tongue or English, or a bit of both?[/quote]
A bit of both.
Russian native trying to say something ;D
1. First was cartoons,games,music and last was Internet of course (worst way to learn, but it works) and i still can't clearly understand when someone trying to speak with me ,_, but mostly always can read good
2. Even if you think i typing bad you don't hear how i speak
3. Less three words in day if I'm not in Internet ( I'm the only in family who know English )
4. It's most easy language what i know. Once i try to programing on my native language on ПРОФТ-5 kinda delphi syntax it was hell and weird, Same think about music when i listen Russian music i hear words and hard to hear music, when English i hear music of course sometimes i understand what he saying there and shit brick's ;D but still i more like listen music not words.
9. Nope it totally automatic, you hear it, you read it and you remember it, English is everywhere (damn it)
Here's Danish for those who wonder about the sounds :v:

1. When did you start learning English? Would you consider yourself fully fluent now?
When I was 4 years old. No, I don't consider myelf fully fluent since when I speak outloud, it just sounds horrible.
2. Can you type it better than speak it, or vice versa?
Yes, I type way better than I speak
3. How often do you use English when not on the Internet?
In my english classes, that's about it, or when I go in USA during summer.
4. Anything particularly weird or frustrating about English you know of?
Actually, It's easier than My native language (french ) so ,no.
6. (Got this idea from Yzoo) When thinking, do you think in your native tongue or English, or a bit of both?
I think in french, but when I write, I think in english what I'm about to write, without thinking about it in french first.
I respect you guys because you learned a new language at a young age. I barely know spanish even though it's taught in school.
1. When did you start learning English? Would you consider yourself fully fluent now?
Around 8 years old, from educational games and from a dictionary i had home. I wouldn't say i am fluent, but i can express complex opinions.
2. Can you type it better than speak it, or vice versa?
I can type it better, though i can express ideas, i just have some minor diction deficiencies
3. How often do you use English when not on the Internet?
Barely. I don't know any other persons who speak the language, so that makes it hard to practice.
4. Anything particularly weird or frustrating about English you know of?
The You're and Your rules, the Mights and Mays, lots of little and annoying rules.
9. If you didn't learn English from school, how did you learn it? Was it difficult?
Nah. Key to learning english is having fun. I learned from games, as i'm sure most of you did too, and it helped me correct my accent.
1. I really don't remember but it feels like I just know it naturally like my primary language which is Tagalog. I do consider myself fully fluent in English.
2. I'd say on the same level. Although certain words in English I pronounce differently or my Filipino accent turning up when I speak.
3. I use English all the time since I live in America now. I still speak Tagalog primarily at home but we usually speak a mix of it. "Tag-Lish" as they call it.
4. Not really other than people arguing with me about my pronunciation of certain words.
9. Filipino schools really harped on English and its expected for everyone to learn it. I learned more by watching movies and books and generally just being exposed to American culture.
76. If I'm in a setting where there's no Filipinos, I usually think in English. But it really depends on who's around me.
1. When did you start learning English? Would you consider yourself fully fluent now?
Yes, i consider myself fully fluent.
I started learning it at age 4 with some disney tapes, cartoon network and playstation games (currently 18), by 4th grade i was already correcting my teachers, and currently i am pretty much dismissed from all english classes because i am a few levels above the teacher.
2. Can you type it better than speak it, or vice versa?
Both, i barely ever make mistakes when typing and can do several accents at ease.
3. How often do you use English when not on the Internet?
Every day.
4. Anything particularly weird or frustrating about English you know of?
Not really.
76. (Got this idea from Yzoo) When thinking, do you think in your native tongue or English, or a bit of both?
Both.
1. When did you start learning English? Would you consider yourself fully fluent now?
[I]I started to learn English when I was about 5 - 8 years old. I'm fully fluent now.[/I]
2. Can you type it better than speak it, or vice versa?
[I]I can definitely type it better than I can speak it. Reason for this is because I sometimes have to think of a word and how to say it in English. There's also no accent involved in typing![/I]
3. How often do you use English when not on the Internet?
[I]Whenever I'm at work. I have to speak English at work.[/I]
4. Anything particularly weird or frustrating about English you know of?
[I]Pronouncing "th".[/I]
9. If you didn't learn English from school, how did you learn it? Was it difficult?
[I]TV mostly. We had American channels on TV, and then came the internet which helped a lot. It wasn't really that hard for me, it sorta naturally came to me over the years, to the point that now I type perfect English and speak it fluently with a bit of an accent.[/I]
76. (Got this idea from Yzoo) When thinking, do you think in your native tongue or English, or a bit of both?
[I]Bit of both. Mostly English.[/I]
1. From childhood I suppose? Wasn't really a concious effort... And yes, I would.
2. Type, obviously, as I encounter more writing and reading than talking during my daily life.
3. All the time. I think in English, I write personal stuff in English, I combine it with my native language, I'm more accustomed to it when I read and write than my native one.
4. Can't say objectively. Nothing out of the ordinary.
9. see answer 1. School helped nontheless.
76. Both. Depends on the mood I'd say. Real complex shit are done in Hebrew.
[B]1. When did you start learning English? Would you consider yourself fully fluent now?[/B]
It was back when I was 6, I loved video-games back then (still do), and since none of them was in Swedish I had no choice but to learn it.
I am not really sure what counts as fluency, but I can read it perfectly and write it somewhat decently.
[B]2. Can you type it better than speak it, or vice versa?[/B]
Yes, as I rarely speak English, I have a strong annoying Swedish accent while attempting to speak English, and there is a couple of words I pronounce wrong.
[B]3. How often do you use English when not on the Internet?[/B]
Almost never, unless you count reading or listening, as I do that almost every day.
[B]4. Anything particularly weird or frustrating about English you know of?[/B]
At the moment, no, if I have trouble with anything I just Google it to find out how it works.
[B]9. If you didn't learn English from school, how did you learn it? Was it difficult?[/B]
I learned a lot of English in School from around 1st to 4rd grade, after that my main resource of learning English was to look it up on the internet or by getting my shit handed to me online for not being able to speak properly. (Ah yes, the memories of starting flame wars on IRC for not knowing that 'I' was supposed to be capitalized.)
[B]75. For Scandinavians, kinda off-topic but: how many other Scandinavian languages do you know? I ask because apparently more than a few of you guys can speak at least one or two other Scandinavian languages with at least basic conversation level. Do you get a sense of that?[/B]
I can read most Norwegian and Danish texts as these languages are very similar to Swedish, and for the same reason people from Norway/Denmark that I chat with online understand me too, so I haven't really bothered learning the differences and speaking that way instead.
[B]76. (Got this idea from Yzoo) When thinking, do you think in your native tongue or English, or a bit of both?[/B]
I almost always think in Swedish, but there are rare cases where I for some reason think in English.
[B]1. When did you start learning English? Would you consider yourself fully fluent now?[/B]
I started learning English when I was in the Swedish equivalent of the fourth grade. That's when we got our first real textbooks. I'm consider myself fluent, but there's still a lot to learn.
[B]2. Can you type it better than speak it, or vice versa?[/B]
I've always been better at writing, probably because I don't talk English that often.
[B]3. How often do you use English when not on the Internet?[/B]
English lessons in school and sometimes talking to friends.
[B]4. Anything particularly weird or frustrating about English you know of?[/B]
The accent, definitely, and some pronunciations.
[B]75. For Scandinavians, kinda off-topic but: how many other Scandinavian languages do you know? I ask because apparently more than a few of you guys can speak at least one or two other Scandinavian languages with at least basic conversation level. Do you get a sense of that?[/B]
I've been to Norway a few times and I've been able to carry out conversations with Norwegians just fine. Maybe some words has to be explained, but the native languages worked just fine for that. Danish is somewhat harder and a lot of swedes think that it's just gibberish.
