I use the English language because I learnt it through the years.

When I was a kid I was a movie lover and watched all I could. Subtitles where paving the way for my brain to be able to read and understand.

When I was 16 I earned some Mon on PayPal through the internetz. And I used it to buy some books of my favourite movies at the time.

I bought "The Godfather" and "Fight Club" and "Trainspotting" among others. Original language and all.

I started reading them perhaps without fully understanding.

But immersing myself in the story, getting meanings through context and having a dictionary around, helped me to improve and keep learning.

Great story. I learned the English language mostly from my computer usage.

One of the first computer games I played was "Leisure Suit Larry" and the first two English words I wrote were "open door" 😁

I used to play Monkey Island haha!

Also a great gameπŸ‘ but this one came some years later
