I learned to speak english when i was 3 years old.My grandfather was the one who
taught me since he liked to hang out with american soldiers during wwII .i think
the 1st english word i spoke was"chicken".
...Even though English is my second language, I'm not sure I can really put a
finger on when I first learned to speak it since I grew up in an English
speaking country. *shrugs*
Ah, man ... I wish I was billingual! If
I could have a superpower, it'd be to understand and speak all known languages
fluently. :P (I'm obviously stuck with just English, despite taking French in
high school and Latin in high school and college.)
I don't want to derail your thread - I just wanted to tell everybody who replies
because they learned English in addition to something else that I think they're
really cool! *cheesy grin*
Although English is not my native language, its the first langauge I learned ~
age-wise i guess i was probably 1 or 2 years old. Unfortunately i don't recall
my first word, but it was probably something weird or funny ^^
hum... well, i officially started learning in junior high... but my father
taught me some words before that... i think, except the usual "one, two,
three" my first word was "delicious"... hum.. it's sad, if he
would have followed on his parents footsteps, i probably would have learned it
at the same time as i learned French... that is, from birth... (after all, my
grandmother was an English teacher, and my grandfather came from
New-Brunswick)...
English was my First Language
Korean was my Second Language
French was my Third Language
Japanese was my Fourth Language.
I ditched Korean and French.
I speak bilingually in both English and Japanese, officially well.
As to being the one who is really well spoken in both languages - that would be
me. **Raises her hand** It took a lot of patience to learn the Japanese
Language, but it is well worth the 2 year wait at the end. The rest of the
languages, I'm not really that good with at all.
You should live in Japan - that's the easiest way to learn Japanese, hands-down.
I self-taught myself a lot back then, and after a couple months, I surprised all
my friends with my new-found language. Boo-yeah, indeed. Along with some Ayumi
Hamasaki and BoA albums **snickers** - lolis
I guess I started speaking english when I could speak..
my mother tongue is chinese but english is the national language here~
everything is taught in english!! but really I cannot consider myself speaking
english.. its like mix of chinese and english and a lot of
dialects-"singlish"
