I learned english from watching Friends[I think I watched that Tv-Show 8-9 times]. My brother just switched the subs on me one day with english ones. I didn't understand shit at first, but not too long after that, I was earnestly reading Nabokov. I spoke to maybe somewhere from ten to a hundred people in english, in my life. That estimate is mostly based on the time I lived in Vienna[one month]. I also find that I wrote prose in english far better than I ever did in romanian, at least this one time for sure, after I finished the Catcher in The Rye and decided to immitate Salinger. It's either a very easy language for me to learn or I love it a great deal. I don't know which one. I know I make a lot of mistakes but that's mostly out of laziness - seeing how I pick up on them even before writing but simply don't choose to express myself better.. At this point, I actually think I speak it far better than my maternal tongue - at least potentially. I even think I can nail American/English accents pretty well- if I really want to. But that's all subjective. I have no actual reason to believe this beside what others have told me.
Don't know if this little story fits in the thread or not, but yeah. Anyway, there's no point to that kind of stuff - bigotrism. We should all learn that no matter what we are all responsible for each others - even for the most dissapointing ones among us, for we are all human beings. Pretending we're instead these different people with different nationalities and what not is just downright silly.
