How did you learn English, Как вы изучаете английский язык

Torrens fatum, may I ask you what authors do you prefer? Some people indicate that John Grisham's books are easy to comprehend, but I cannot say I like them.

Well, nowadays I'm just trying to keep my level, and reading, listening watching is quite enough for that)

A very interesting rule of 10 000 hours - when you keep speaking in English and you have already spent about 10 000 hours repeating this procedure - you will get a skill of English, because of your neurons and processes within)

Донни, according to my calculations, I've spent approximately 6,000 hours actively speaking English from the age of 5 and up to this day. I'll let you know when I reach 10,000 hours. :crazy:

How did you calculate it?

Dude, it's literally 2 years. If you're not completely retarded, in TWO FUCKING YEARS you can learn anything.

OMFG you have to learn and speak for 2 years NONSTOP. =hopelessness=

Speaking one hour per day, you need 27 years to get 10000 hours.

Exactly. And if you sleep, eat and do your average shit, it remains, let's say 5 hours a day of practice. It's still 5 goddamn years.
You' we called it a RULE. This is not a fucking RULE, it's common sense and logic. Doing anything for 5 hours a day will make you a master.

Everything had started from my father who knew english quite well, he helped me a lot with my studies. Then I decided that I'll go abroad to the university and consequently I needed to score not less than 5.0 in IELTS. I've done a lot of work with my english tutor. Luckily I have got 7.5 and went to the UK, where I continued my studies. I can say that reading books, listening music and watching movies and TV shows in English was quite a useful experience either.)

uhm no.
It shouldn't be like that - there are so many things except learning English you have to do in your daily life so this is why it takes a way longer to learn any language.

oh, is that so? Kolya says that this is just entertainment.
