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 😅

    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

    Started learning it from video games at about 5-6 years old, had tutor classes paid for by my dad (for the whole class) from 7 years old. Then from 10 years old I had summer camp overseas every year until 13, then sent off to the UK.

    Tried to pick up other languages along the way from Japanese to French to Italian to Spanish to Ukrainian to Polish, but none of them really stuck, shit just takes forever and it’s hard to keep coming back to it after the novelty has worn off from a few hours of translation exercises and flash cards and such.
