How has your life changed since you started to learn English?

i came to America when i was 11 years old, so i was forced to learn English in order to do well in school, and communicate with people.

for me is communication since i live in Boston, USA and i guessed English has slowly becoming my primary language right now

[寂靜* 10]

I don't have the experience to chat with local English-used people.I'd like to do some conversation with someone else,or I think it's useless to learn English =P

Anyway,I forget when I was interested in Engilish,but now I'm learning English with great enthusiasm =] My life hasn't changed since I learned English,I think,but I'll find some enjoyment in my future English-learning days XDD

[willsonlou 10]

Change?.... I don't really think so... it's just another way to communicate I guess... When you can speak English properly, it just give you the cabability to make more friends...

Considering I've been using both Mandarin and English ever since I can remember, I don't exactly know how or if it had changed at all. *shrug*

[damoko 10]

Ditto lol

I studied in various international schools since kindergarten, then moved back for a traditional Taiwan education starting seventh grade.

My 語感 has served me well for all the tests throughout these years (I'm still a grammar idiot XP)

oh well,

i started learning English in my late childhood,

so compare to other premature learners, i am just a novice who lacks firmly fundamental basicsT,T

yet i couldnt recall any change that happened on the long, adverturous odyssey of learning this language...

when i was about to learn English, i thought it's freaking useless so i pretty much took sevaral months to memorize the 26 alphbets XD

and then as soon as i memorized all the letters correctly, my mom sent me to a cram school twice a week, but i dont think i had learned anything there XDD

and so when i attened junior high school i definitively had a deficiency in using English

as a second language, and yeah, it took me another 3 years to struggle with this subject. XDDD

finally when i went oversea, English emerged as an inevitably important language in my life, i couldnt ignore its significance anymore..... XDDDD

did my life change? I dont know,

but it's good to know two languagesXD

All I can say is that English is an excellent tool to widen your knowledge with, be it surfing on the web or reading...

Yes, but not at you. I was just taking a small dig at how hard to learn a language and how easy the method seems.

[MikiRei 10]

Cool, cool. :p

It is ironic though, isn't it? It's not just language. I reckon the answer to a lot of things are incredibly simple yet we can spend years, even generations before finding that simple solution. *sigh*

[damoko 10]

Yes I know what you mean, like maintaining a good realationship with boys/girls. Everyone can easily point out "10 important rules to follow when seeing a person" or "10 ways to make your girlfriend feel sweet" blah blah blah while only very few know how to do them well.

Err - I think were off topic again, but whatever - there are no mods here lol lol

[MikiRei 10]

There WAS a mod at one point - don't know where she went.

Everyone can easily point out "10 important rules to follow when seeing a person" or "10 ways to make your girlfriend feel sweet" blah blah blah while only very few know how to do them well.

Not to mention most of the time, these 10 rules don't actually WORK! :p

When i started to learn English, i tried to translate everything in English.

Some of my classmates always regarded me as a crazy guy.= ='

I did too, because it's too hard for me to write or speak it when in elementary school

but now i think that English just tools, not actually a subject to do a study

for me, it's still strange but becomes better than before.

it's say that" no pain,no gain."

i like English, so i had practice a lot so that maybe someday i can go to the US

to communicate with people there.
