How long have you been speaking English?

I know a lot of members on DP forums aren't from an English Speaking country but it never stops to amaze me how well everyone still speaks on the forums (granted there are those still in the early stages of it). So how long has everyone been speaking English?

I myself am a Native speaker but I do know French, so I know how much dedication it takes to learn how to properly speak a language.

 

All my life.

 

8years already.

 

18 years and counting, i suppose

 

^^ Lol, I feel you. I wish I could speak as good as I can write.

I've been learning since I was 8, I think. Then I moved to Spain and kinda stopped leaning since the people here barely speak English, and the people who do, speak terrible. I continued learning when I got internet. I learned a lot in forums, and the web in general.

 

My whole Life!

Need I say more?

 

I started posting on forums 5 years ago so you could say I've only been writing (not speaking) English for 5 years and counting. I suck when it comes to speaking English but I guess I can atleast convey my message on forums and on IMs

 

Scince I was about 2 .

 

since my birth

 

Uhmmm.. I think I was about 8 when I really started learning English. Had no clue what 'how are you' meant before that. Anyways, I went to school in a foreign country so the only language I could communicate with was English so I picked it up pretty fast

 

You could speak when you was born

 

all my life, but i heard its the hardest language to speak? is it?

 

Some of you guys speak perfect English. I guess I just don't understand how you could write it fine but not speak it well. Is it pronounciation that is stumping ya?

 

When they type it, they do have time to think about it for a while?

That's some talent. What version of the Guinness Book of World Records can we find you in?

I learned English and Spanish at the same time, both since I was born. I've been speaking it since I was about 1 though.

 

a few years, I mostly learned it online, chatting, writing emails, reading posts etc...

In fact I can write and read it but cannot speak very well ahah!

I speak Italian, do business in English and college in French...

 

Only 7 years here, pretty fleunt in it, considering I know 3 other languages.
