How did you learn english?

For all you dutch people, how did you learn?

Games, tv, internet and music

My dad is English, so he spoke it to me since I was born, my mum spoke Dutch and Frisian to me. I've still got a video from when I was younger talking to my nan on the phone! The first word I said was English, for as far as I can remember, as my family over there don't speak Dutch. Talking English seems easyer than writing it. Anyway, that's what I think.

School, and look at the engelish television.

Primary school, Highschool and now College, TV and Radio...and I need it 2 communicate with my BF.

On da streets ya know

i learned it talking to people on messenger, after that i take a cd program now i speek very wel i think

A lot from movies, and school of course!

Tv, School, and my father

English is 2nd language, sometimes easier to talk than dutch Hahahaa...
Think its because of watching much tv and learn it on school, i can learn a foreign language pretty easy and like other languages...

99 procent of the dutch people speak very goed english i thinks its really good in england no one i know can speak another language apart from me then i do speak dutch

any way

laters

Tv / work / school

School & Tv

when i was like 7 , we had satelite tv , and i allways watched Cartoon Network and Sky channel WWF
So thats how it started, i topped the class with my english grammar.
But speaking english was a bitch.
But that came to an end when i started to play World of warcraft, being on ventrilo/teamspeak helps allot

I have learn english on school but i do it always bad

hope that i write good english lol

7 years of british school add to that all me mates are english too kinda sticks with you then

as a child I was fascinated by languages, I started to write lyrics and my dad corrected them for me ... the rest I learned at school

from sum irish lads I met in the pub,,
school,,
movies,,
my granny is irish,,

Well my dad is from the states. and he doesn't speak any dutch at all so we only talk english at home.

My dad's Emglish so i have been brought up with two languages.

my father in law is english so that's how i learned to speak english most of it.
writing englisch is still a little bit hard for me.
the most of his family still lifes in engeland so sometimes i speak to them and i have to speak engelish other wise they can't understand me.
but the most of it, i learned at school but i also learned it from tv, music and movies.

At school, and wachting english programmes on the telly.

1 SKY channel
2 computergame, the quest "Persuit Larry"
3 @ school

Well, i'd say it started like this. When i was this little dude, i always followed any serie that was English. When i got older i just figured out that was shit so i started playing games (Nintendo-fan).

So, do the math : 50% because of the Tv, and the other 50% because of Games

Well pretty much the same story as the dude above me ...
I watched a lot of English series and I played stupid games on Nintendo xD

Kinda lame now I think about it ...

And I also watched Courage the cowardly dog when I was younger xD
And pretty much everything on Cartoon Network xD

Aight dudess, so people CAN have things in commen
And that was the old days,
spending your day with cartoons and games XD

I love how Dutch people think their English is so good,
while the accents are fucking horrible.

Plus, most make these dumb little mistakes with 'then' and 'than'.

But hey, even people with English as their first language do it,
but my point is that Dutch people claim their English is "perfect" or whatever...

Dude,

So in other words, you're saying that you don't know English.
