DuskGiselle96 Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Hi. I have a confession - I'm from England, and English is the only language I am completely fluent in. But I'm half Iranian so I have a mild excuse here :P Id just be really interested to meet some people whose first language is not English. Please say hello/salut/ciao/namaste/helo/guten tag/hola/however you say hello in your language. Would love to meet you. Dusk Link to post Share on other sites

Originally it was so I could become more familiar with the language and really, really learn it but I do like it more than Spanish so I never went back; I even dream in English most of the time :lol: Curiously enough, I talk (and write if I'm chatting with friends from real life) a lot of Spanglish but I'm not very good at speaking in full English Link to post Share on other sites

Things like playing video games in English was way more fun somehow and then it slowly began to extend to other things. I don't often dream with speech...it is kinda strange people are speaking but often it is no spoken in a language it is more like I know what they are talking and I feel like it isn't really in any language XD I don't even know if I know what I mean Link to post Share on other sites

Starbogen Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 I remember I stopped watching stuff in Spanish and decided to switch to English and read more books in English, think in English, etc. I hope to do something similar with German after I've learned the basics someday because it's a really awesome language and I'd love to learn it :D So far though, I just know pronouns, a tiny bit about conjugation that I've almost forgotten, numbers (which I've also almost forgotten, at least the big ones), and a few random words XD Link to post Share on other sites
