Hahaha it’s my fourth spoken language out of 5 in order of learning.
I learned English via the tv, music and people started in 2011. Didn’t have it back in the days in school. So I learned it the parrot fashion way. Until I started to write here in Hive, I realised I wrote words how I thought they should be. By sounds… so my husband had to proofread and correct a lot in the beginning. As I progress that is getting less and less. (He is not reading comments just my posts.)
Words like heart and heard, I didn’t realise which one was what as my pronunciation is different hahaha they sound the same.
Or build and built, to and too etc.
getting there eventually. 😎

I found porn and Mafia movies a great way to learn a language.
I cant ask where the bathroom is but I can cuss very well.
So there is that.
Your comments are terrific. Without you mentioning it, I didnt know you have a problem with English. Your comments seem fine to me.

Very important for the species to carry on.
Although I wonder if they just do it for fun.
Something to ponder.

Ah yes nature. I learn from animal shows.
Unfortunately when I go natural and mimic the animals walking around in my natural state, I seem to get arrested.
I guess I need to watch more nature shows to see what I am doing wrong.
Still trying to figure out what indecent exposure means.

You're English, and especially grammar, is better than most native speaking folk I know.
I find it fascinating you are able to learn the way you did. I grew up with a native French speaking father and relatives while sister was multi-lingual. Even with that influence I couldn't speak a lick of French, Spanish.. nothing. But, watch someone code and I learn quickly.
Thank you kindly @nthtv 😎
I love to learn.
My parents were/are Dutch and German.
I was born in France, but we left when I was only 2 years old. Never learned that properly. I can make some sentences but nothing more than you would need on a holiday. After that we ended up in Germany until my 6th so that was basically my first spoken language… then 28 years in The Netherlands where I had to switch etc. moved around a lot, over 30 times hahaha 🤣
They do say children are like sponges in early years, the older you get the harder it is apparently to learn a language.
To bad you didn’t pick it up.
Each their own… like you say.
I did build some websites with html but that’s it.
