Why do you think it's obvious that people learn English at school? There are a lot of people who learn another language at school: German, French, Spanish, Italien... I learned Russian and French at school, for example. And already as an adult, had to learn English at a language school, took some courses.

Oh yeah, it took me 7 months from zero knowledge to read, write and speak in English, almost fluently. Otherwise you can spend years with learning a languages, if it's not a good method.

I've learned English from school it was my secondary language since K.G. but I developed it after that by watching a lot of movies without subtitles and the best thing is to practice a lot as you can specially talking.

I learn English in school since I was a small kid. I found that if we can master the basic, then it is easy to learn the language not just English but also for other language. I agree that someone said that writing is more easy we need to use the language frequently in conversation in order to speak fluently. Otherwise we will have problems and use more time to come up with some words while speaking.

I learned English in School. Many people said that English was the easiest language to be learned. When studying a language, I think the more you practice, the better you are. So, being active in MyLot can improve your English skill (LOL). But it is often that speaking is more difficult than writing. When you are speaking, you have to pay attention to vocabularies, grammars, and pronounciation at the same time, right?
