I was used to playing games when I was a kid, but I didn't really think it helped me that time because I still remember that I barely understood the text on a game I played (It was Harvest Moon). So, yeah, it didn't really help me. Nevertheless, English has always been my favorite languange, and I've always wanted to be able to speak English fluently. Then, I went to a course when I was in seventh grade (Mom's demand), but I had a lot of fun learning English there, and there I elevate my grammar skill. I understand all those simple grammar rules from this course, and that was the moment I could write English slightly better. When I was in senior high school, I stopped taking the course (If I'm not mistaken), but, as I mentioned before, English has always been my favorite language, so I learn a lot (until today) through the songs I listen to, the lyrics I try to figure out what it means, the English-novels I read, the English-short-story or quotes I write, the talkshow I watch (and I always try to speak like a native), the self-speaking I do, and everything related to English--this is how I meet a lot of new vocabs. Like, A LOT! I try to do it all the time. I also spoke English with some cousins to make English-speaking as a habit. (I wasn't really confident, though, due to my accent). One day, when I decided to study abroad, I took another course. The "executive" one. And, there, I boost all my skills in English, especially speaking and writing. It was only few months ago, but my English develops so fast when I was in the course. And, my accent never bothers me anymore (I love it now, haha!). In conclusion, I think I am a mixed-up of a nerd kid who went to a course and an autodidact one, and it delivers good result! I need to learn more, though.
