How Good is Your English? / Re: Listening is a Good Way to Learn English

« on: March 21, 2012, 04:25:04 AM »

You have to remember that it's not only the listening to the spoken word that can teach English to a person who doesn't speak it.  I had a friend who grew up in Argentina.  He had no one around him who spoke any English, and he was in a very poor area.  From what he told me, he got started with English by listening to old Guns & Roses tapes (1980s rock and roll music).  He had the accent that most Spanish-speaking people have, but it was very faint and his English was actually better than mine.
