People of AKP where English is only your 2nd or 3rd language

It's easy to understand, but I find it hard to explain my thoughts exactly the way I want it to. It's a bit frustrating sometimes.

Never did a serious effort to learn english but I can read and understand like 95% of whatever I read so is fine for me, for now.

Well... as someone who learned it as a third language, I think I'm good at it.

Some few users here have actually been surprised by the fact that I'm not a native speaker.

I don't think I have many difficulties with it except there are times when I try to translate a word or sentence from my native language or Danish to English and then I look it up in the dictionary and the word feels wrong...

Whenever I write, I feel like I spell things correctly most of the times and use the right grammar. Or at least on computer, but that is mostly because my computer can correct spelling and grammar mistakes.

I don't think I have a difficult problem speaking it. I feel like I struggle more with Danish for some reason...

When reading, I most of the times don't have any problems.

Listening and reading is always easier than speaking and sometimes writing.

Easy to understand text

Little bit harder to understand what people speak sometimes, especially if they speak really fast

hard to write without spelling mistakes

I never speak English in real life so it is hard to pronounce words

Chinese is my first language but I've been in Australia way longer than I have so my english is naturally better than my chinese

that said having seen oversea's students studying english - it's difficult since there's so many exceptions and weird rules and stuff

like why is the K silent in knight and knife????

i grew up overseas after i was 5ish so while english is my second language, i picked it up very quickly in a year or so. plus, i was a huge book nerd so now my english is better than some natives LOL. although, id have to say i mess up pronunciations and stumble over my words sometimes

I did my primary education in England and for the later part of my schooling, all the subjects in school were taught in English. It is the only language I know, which I never put effort into. I think you could say I'm fluent but I still have the vocabulary level of a primary schooler.

I feel like it's pretty decent. I can make myself clear without having to search up how to say things.

Even if I make mistakes, I wouldn't know or often don't care to search it up, so akp native speakers would be the better judge for that. I watch a lot of content with english subtitles, because dutch subs often don't work, so that helps.

Quote from JiminieKookie

Reminds me of German where the C in CK words is silent too like Glück (luck), Glocke (bell), Rock (skirt), Bock (male sheep/goat) ,... but also in some English words the C in CK words is silent too

it's just exception after exception which makes learning english (at least from a Chinese) perspective that much harder

I don't find it hard to understand, read, speak or write

In my country we start learning English in elementary school, and I consumed a lot of media (movies, video-games, TV-shows) in English from a young age as well. It's even the main language speak it at my current work-place. It's not perfect, but I am confident in my ability to use and communicate in English.

It's to the point where I will sometimes know words/how to describe something in English first, before my first language. And I switch between the languages easily.

English is my 3rd language and I’ve been learning it since I was 13, so I became fluent at it, I can read, speak and write as well as a native speaker

I am very good at talking in english but my writing and reading sucks
