I'm With Stupid wrote:1. At what age did you start to learn English?

Fourth grade, so eleven years old. Really I started learning from Super channel and Sky channel around 5-6, and learned from films as well. I had an American accent in school.

2. What was the English teaching in your public education system like:
a) In which country?
b) At what age did you start learning?
c) Did your teacher speak your native language during lessons? If so, what for, and do you think it was beneficial?
d) How much spoken communication in English did you do during these lessons?

a: Norway
b: 11
c: Yes, and she did it so we would think in English. I think it was beneficial.
d: Maybe half an hour out of the three we had each week.

3. Did you supplement this with private tuition/study in a private language centre? If so, same a) b) c) & d) questions again.

No

4. Did you ever live abroad in a situation that required you to use English regularly?

No

5. Other than living abroad, how often did you get to communicate in English? And what form did these communications take?

I used it when on holiday, but that wasn't often as we usually ended up in Denmark(no need for English there). A bit of online gaming where I learned that gay is a popular word. My English has deteriorated quite a bit over the years (don't even get me started on my German).

6. How often did you consume English-language media, and did you do so with a conscious effort to study/understand it?

Most of the media I consumed was English spoken. I didn't use subtitles when watching films/series, and some of the books I read was written in English. I used to be an avid reader.
