I'm Michael. I live in Poland and Polish is my native language (母语), but I speak English very well. How did I learn English? I'd like to share something with you.
When I was six, my dad advised me to listen to The Beatles. I listened to them every day for the next seven years. At first, I could understand nothing of what they were singing. But soon I started to understand more words.
The next year, I got a book with the words of all the songs. I learned many songs. And I understood a little of the meaning. Learning English well became my dream because I wanted to understand The Beatles.
When I was 13 years old, I started reading English science fiction (小说). At first, I could not understand those books because I did not know English so well. I thought the books in English must be interesting and exciting, so I learned every new English word carefully. In that way, I improved my reading.
When I read English, I have a lot of fun. I also find it so useful in my work. And I'm trying to help others learn English well.
