Me & English

Let me start by saying I love English. I do! It has arguably been my favorite language ever since I first truly came to contact with it. That is, when I was able to understand more than a label saying „Made In China“ – and pronounce it correctly, which may be just about ten years now. I don’t think there was a time when I was uninterested in the language or I simply, God forbid, disliked it. As a matter of fact, in high school, it was the subject I was always looking forward to the most. I never had to worry about passing a test without studying for it like many of my classmates. I reckon I was lucky, go figure!

As to where I actually got my English skills from, I mostly tend to give credit to three things: video games, TV shows, and music. Truth be told, whenever I‘m asked the question about English and how I learned it, I always answer with the aforementioned trio. If it weren’t for the advances in technology, mostly in electronics, during the past few decades, I highly doubt I could talk to people using the language I now hold very dear, let alone consider majoring in it. Luckily, I was born in an era where I can communicate with people across the entire globe. In English. And they know what I'm saying! Well, most of the time, anyway...
