How did you first start learning English? The way you learn English can vary. However, how you start learning can affect how you use it as well. Did you learn by watching videos, movies or TV? Did you start learning phrases, words or sentences?

I first started with boring books back in the day in primary school... :)

Reading--->Watching/Listening---->Writing--->Grammar---->Speaking---->Reading 

This is my learning cycle. It costs me about two months to finish a cycle.

1. I choose one book by native writers.

2. Then search relevant videos online to improve my listening skills, meanwhile those videos help me understand what I read.

3. I try to use similar expressions that I read

4. If I cannot figure out some sentences during reading, I review related grammar rules and make notes to emphasis the points that I don't understand.

5. I try to internalized what I read by speaking. speaking without doubts.

The first time I went to NY I said myself: I gotta learn English seriously; because what I learned in my country was basically nothing. And American culture appeal me a lot to be honest.

In Hong Kong, everyone started their English learning around 3 years. Some are even earlier as we have something called playgroup. 

I start learning English in a formal class setting. For example: 

How are you? 

I am fine. 

He is Tom. I am Mary. 

LOL. The most common names in my class in those days are Tom, Mary and Peter. 

Gradually, my interest in English as a language grew so I went on learn more by myself.
