My history with the english language

In high school I ever  was a good student, not the best hehehe but I ever had good grades in all subjects except for english,. To be being completely honest I think I reached the point of hate hating it,. Even when I listened listening to music in english,(I didn't care much about the song lyrics). One day a friend gave me a disc of a band that I did not know but that I began to love as soon as I started to listen, because of it I became interested about the lyrics and I downloaded the translated ones. My mom ever always wanted me to learn english so she paid for an expensive English course, but my english was still horrible,.The course was excellent but I learned just a very little, I think I learned beacuose because of the music but not beacuse because of the course hehehe. Well, when I was 19 I moved to Ecuador where I met lots of americans and I lived with them, some of them was were learning english and talking with them was a big challenge, but with gestures and pacience patience I learned some basic things. When I was about to leave Ecuador I had the good fortune to live with an American who spoke very good Spanish, we spoke with him in English all day, every day for about 3 months, because of his he spoke spanish he could explain to me which what were my mistakes.
