My first encounter with English language.
One day my uncle Richard visited us (Mom and I). I was like five years old and we had a VHS device at home. He told me: "Hey, let´s watch a movie!" so, we went to the living room and he put a black tape into the VHS. That day, I watched Star Wars for the first time. I was fascinated by all those robots, aliens and other weird things that I was seeing!
After that moment, I loved Star Wars; but there was a problem... The movie was in English and it had no captions. So I tried to figure out what was happening, only by observing the character's movements, gestures and stuff.
Time passed, I was "improving" my interpretations, and then I found a new learning tool...
Music. Tool´s album AEnima. (Not the best for a five year old kid, but very useful I guess).

No complicated stuff, but all is mostly fine in a nutshell =)
My first encounter with English language.
One day my uncle Richard visited us (Mom and me I). I was like (this is a colloquial form, you may consider using "around" which is neutral) five years old and we had a VHS device at home.

I was fascinated by all those robots, aliens and other weird things that I was seeing!After that moment, I loved Star Wars (I would say "At that moment I fell in love with..."); but there was a problem... The movie was in English and it had no captions. So I tried to figure out what was happening, only by observing the character's movements, gestures and stuff.
