I am. What is it that makes you wonder about that?

I can't remember another poster from Bulgaria.  Your English is magnificent.

[rado84]

Your English is magnificent.

You're the second person to tell me that.

Q (AF member): Btw, I am impressed by how good your English is. Do you all learn English as children in Bulgaria?

A (me): Yup. Nowadays everyone in Bulgaria speaks a foreign language but the most of us speak English. I for one have been learning English since first grade and
finished learning it about 3 or 4 years ago. I've covered all the requirements for the C2 level (A1 is for those who have just begun learning and C2 is for
completers who know the language at 99%) but never went to the exam to get the certificate because it's too expensive for me.
Even though I know the differences between American English and UK English, I prefer to speak American English and to use American idioms and phrases.
Which is why I often say "I'm gonna", "I gotta" or "I wanna" instead of their British counterparts.

Foreign language instruction in the US is a joke.

There's no need for it to be any different cuz wherever you go, everyone speaks your language. It's world language. Universal. So you don't really need to speak any other language.

Here's one somewhat fresh example on topic. I thought our cops were scumbags but that video below makes them look like kids compared to their American colleagues...

California cops shot naked, unarmed man in back ‘within seconds’ of breaking down door: lawsuit

The lawsuit said that “despite the fact that he was naked, unarmed and did not pose a threat to the officers or anyone else at the time they decided to use deadly force against him.”

How do you shoot a man in the back while he is allegedly "lunging" for your guns.  For that matter, why did they have their guns out?

WTF is wrong with this country?

26?  Must have been a donut sale in the area.

I thought American cops eating donuts was just a myth from movies.
