WHY DO ENGLISH INSIST ON USING BOTH LOWER CASE LETTERS AND UPPER CASE LETTERS? THE RULES FOR WHEN YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO USE EACH OF THEM ARE CONFUSING, AND SOMETIMES PEOPLE WILL USE THE OPPOSITE TO WHAT YOU SHOULD NORMALLY USE FOR NO APPARENT REASON. IT JUST MAKES THINGS HARDER TO READ AND FORCES YOU TO LEARN TWO ALPHABETS, THE ONLY REASON PEOPLE CARRY ON LEARNING LOWER CASE IS BECAUSE THEY WANT TO FEEL ELITIST ABOUT HAVING LEARNED THEM ALL ALREADY AND MAKE IT HARDER FOR FOREIGNERS TO LEARN THE LANGUAGE.

And, yeah, he went around this deal the wrong way.

Personally I believe that games serve best as morale/support tool. You want to play shiny new games? You want to play some good old stuff that is never going to be translated into your language? Time to properly grind some vocab and rules.

My parents told me I learned it earlier than my native language by just listening to other people speak and hearing stuff from the TV. I seem to be naturally attuned to speaking and writing in English, consistently well-above the standard for my grade level.

Silly teachers thinking books are the key to learning English. Maybe for writing (I used to read novels more than 50 hours a week on average), but speaking is definitely from watching cable for me.

I got rather fluent quickly, though. I guess games kept my motivation higher than it would have been.

Learned the basics in school. Video games and the Internet did the rest.
The other kids were really bad at English because they never actually used it. They couldn't even read or at least navigate a website to download a driver or whatever because seeing English overwhelmed them and made them feel helpless. Pretty sad.

About 5 months of Kindergarten brought me up to the level everyone else spoke at. Then books, TV shows, and other media. By the time I was in 1st grade, I was reading at several grade levels higher than my peers.
Prior to that, I had only spoken Polish, since that was what my mother and father spoke all the time.
