Learning English

Well, Now I will write about my experience learning english...

I'm learning english since I went to Kinder grade, in 1992. In these days I learned about simple things of the language as numbers, colors, animals and others simple expresions. Then I continue learning in the following school grades, but in 5th grade, when I came to Chile, I was sent to a public school, then I did not have english classes for two years. In 7th grade, I returned to have classes until my last year in the school, but the quality of the classes were very poor. Most things that I know in english I have been learned listening to the music, searching the lyrics of my favourite bands, and translating them with a dictionary. Really I think that I'm not very good learning english and I feel that is easier to understand than speake, but only by the difference beetween both languages (spanish and english) for exampl is more easy for me to learn french.
I have a good memory for learn new words, so I have a good vocabulary in english, but the difficult thing for me is the using of the verbal tenses. I think that the english cultur is very serious, I imagine the British people as very serious and timely (maybe that's the image that the Britons show to the whole world) but at the same time, the many young people in Britain has always been very advanced in avant-garde tendences . Anyway I prefer the British accent over the North American. In the end, I think that the english language is the most important today in whole world (Would that be the spanish!) so is very important to speak english for everyboy
