I suppose I can speak both American and Queen’s English, though I grew up with the latter (my dad is from England).
I learned starting at 3 years old 😊
Now, I am onto a third language of Galician, which is spoken in my country. Maybe I will even learn a fourth for my Japanese girlfriend but her close/immediate family all speaks English.
I learnt English as a child when we got dial-up internet because many applications were not translated and anyways most troubleshooting forums were in English. We had an English class at school but the motivation to actually pay attention was COMPUTEEEEEERS 😄
Now it feels so weird talking about computer stuff in French, I have no clue how to explain anything because it all comes instinctively in English 😅
😅 That sounds amazing though! J’adore les ordinateurs
School started teaching it at age 9, but really I had started picking it up myself so that I could actually understand how to play the Pokemon Cards by age 6-7 or so
You just wanted to brag about your Japanese girlfriend 😜
Moved to an English-speaking country where I lived for some years as a child.
What country?
I started to learn English when I was 12. I think I’m not fluent enough (as I don’t speak with people irl that much in English). I would not like to share what is my mother tongue but now I know 4 languages. Thinking about to learn Japanese but not getting time.
That’s awesome!!!
Spanish was my first language, but I started English in elementary school. Currently learning French lol.
My Spanish is maybe B2, my English is solidly C2, French is A2
Uuuuu increíble!
i was 9. a year later, we moved to the u.s.
I have been speaking english for 13 years now and people say i’m fluent (though idk if my level is native yet even as a russian-american)
I have an uncommon timeline. I come from a country where English isn’t the primary/national language, but a majority of the population can speak/write it. My parents had the foresight to teach us siblings English first so it would be more natural to us and therefore give us an advantage in our future careers. So I technically learned English first before the local/native language. But because I grew up in my country and only being exposed to American English through movies/tv, my English isn’t exactly “native” and you can pick up within a minute of speaking with me that I’m not a native speaker. But I’m always told that I don’t have the typical accent people from my home country have when speaking English and mine is more neutral.
