When I was in high school, I started learning English as my second foreign language, but my level of English at that time was very average.
When I was 12 years old, I got interested in learning English.
I've never lived in an English-speaking country, ever, but I lived in Austria. So, my second language is German. And when I went to school, I had a lot of classes in English.
For over ten years I always had, but I don't speak English.
Every German child learns to speak English in school.
Somebody said to me that I speak English almost like somebody for whom English is not their first language.
I learned English kind of late. I remember when I got my first opportunity to work in America, I didn't speak a lot of English, so I only really knew my lines for the movie I was doing.
I grew up learning Russian and translating English songs when I became a teenager, we got to listen to West Germany radio stations, and learning lyrics with picture book. These are my first experiences with the English language.
I'm not a native English speaker but do post tweets in English.
Now I speak English.
