School, what else? I suppose it's a compulsory subject in almost all European countries nowadays, with good reason.

Research is a drug.

school

Being born in the UK had a strong factor in my need to learn the language!

People should not be afraid of their governments. Governments should be afraid of their people. - V

Passion. And my growing up in a fertile environment, being my mum an English teacher.

How can I believe in God when just last week I got my tongue caught in the roller of an electric typewriter? --Woody Allen

- I like English.
- At the time when I was to choose a foreign language to learn, the other available foreign language is Russian.
- I learned English, technically, when I was 3

It is not WHAT you give, but HOW you give that counts!

when at school I had only two options, english or spanish. since spanish is too close to my mother language AND english is way more useful, that was my choice.

School obviously

"If God wanted women to understand men, football would never have been created." - Roger Simon

i wanted to learn as many foreign languages as i could, so english was my fost choice

Won't go home without you

School mostly.

I fell in love with the English language so it was my decision to learn it.

I had no choice. I was born and grew up in England and English was/is/will be all around me.

We are the music-makers, and we are the dreamers of the dream.

Just one of the languages we have to learn here.

Daar is de lente, daar is de zon
bijna, maar ik denk dat ze weldra zal komen.
De fallus impudicus staat al in bloei
En de blaadjes krijgen bomen.
M'n vrouw en m'n kat zijn allebei krols
en de klokken vertrekken naar Rome

School, like most people.

We're all pretty bizarre. Some of us are just better at hiding it, that's all.

The fact that I love learning foreign languages and also because English is so necessary nowadays.

School, and also songs.

La torture. Il y a quelque chose d'insoutenable et de vertigineux, la destruction de l'homme a l'etat pur.

school and my boyfriend, he's from the USA

***Love isn't finding a perfect person. It's seeing an imperfect person perfectly.***

i speak english cuz i was born in the usa. but american english is alot different than uk english.

there is one world in wich we live and we all have a different view. both from our windows and our minds.

at first school and my mom, but later I liked and decided to keep studying after finishing school

School and of course songs and tv.

School of course, in Sweden we learn from 4th grade and onward and we dont dub our movies so its natural to speak english. It quite clear that we need a global language on this planet and english is the most natural to speak, at least for us westerners.

frewurny glirt ptohtsm!

School We also start to learn English at 4th grade but I don't think it works.Even we start it when we are young,so many people can't pass the English proficiency exams at universities.Our system is based on the grammar stuff.I'm lucky because my schools were good at language education but it's actually related to your interest.Shortly,the English level of Turks is about survival level.They aren't so fluent.

我是土耳其 人

I had to do that in school

Everyone in my family has been speaking in English ever since I could remember.

"It's never the tears that measure the pain, but the smiles we fake just to show others we are okay."

Music, in first place. Being a rocker since my teen years, I'd always wanted to know what the hell my idols were singing. But the actual reason I learned English is because I used to buy (still do) a lot of secondhand books, science fiction mostly. And since sometimes I didn't was able to find that books I wanted to read translated to Spanish, but in English, French, Italian, German and so on (secondhand market is really weird here), I began buying the English ones hoping that someday I would be able to read them. And that someday finally arrived . My first adventure in this field was a PK Dick novel, "Counter-clock world". But my real apprenticeship was "The lord of the rings", by JRR Tolkien.

"If the scissors are not used daily on the beard it will not be long before the beard is, by its luxuriant growth, pretending to be the head." (Hakim Jami)

I didn't have much choice in the matter, being from England.

School, lol
I didn't have a choice, really. They've taught us English since 4th grade.

Like I had a choice.

I was born in an English-speaking environment and grew up almost all of my life speaking English.

School but I wasn't good at it, then I started reading story books written in English, lots of books and so I learned more to better
understand what I was reading. I have been keeping up with it since then hehee.

You shouldn't have to sacrifice who you are just because somebody else has a problem with it.
