How did you learn the English language?

Well, since no one else have posted anything I will be the first to open a topic here, so I guess no too many of the members speak English, but at least some of us know a little bit.
The question is, how, when, why or who make you feel attractive to the English language.

actually
english it's my first language because my dad wanted to teach me like a normal conversation since i was born, until this day i have lots of problems by mixing both spanish and english

In my case, English is my first language. When I was a kid I used to mix both languages (English and Spanish) but then I came to live here and since it's an "spanish environment" I stopped practicing English. The years passed and I almost completely forgot it, so I had to re-learn it almost by myself listening to music, getting into english chats, and in forums like this one of course

Well same here, English is my first language, i was born in Canada .. so i learned most of it from school, family, tv, friends ... I also used to mix both .. but now im more used to typing in spanish, and used my English when im supposed to

i learned english back at school. i studied in a bilingual school and they taught well... then i expanded my vocabulary by reading a lot and watching movies an TV. i´ve also had some friends which speak little spanish, so we have most of our conversations in english. i´m pretty fluent, some new yorkers even complimented me on my conversation skills!

I've been learning English my whole life.

I remember since when I was little I was in English courses.. some small courses and I learned the very basic things.

Then I went to European Academy in which i learned the basic and intermediate english... I had the knowledge but I never used to practice it so I was loosing it so hard.. the only medium i had for practicing was internet but i never used to practice it vocally.

Until I got to work at my first callcenter I made English part of my everyday's life.. I got fluent and I learned new vocabulary and I got my ears used to it... I still have little accent and there are some days that I have fluency and some others that my tongue doesn't want to speak well lol.. but now I consider myself bilingual. =P

my english just sucks you know?
same as yassus, i went to the academia europea, and i did the TOEFL but im honest i just sucks! i speak english only cause i need to, im working on a call center, so i need to speak english every single day, but to be honest i just love when my boss puts me on the spanish queue its so much better and easier, speciality when it comes to electric power LOL
