Everyone seems so good at English so I wondered how many people learned it to such proficiency and how many are just natives

    I’m from Spain and English is my third language (currently trying to learn Portuguese)

    I’ve learn it with music (Judas Priest🤟), movies and series.

      For some reason, learning through music is really hard for me. I have zero issues talking and listening to English speakers for years now, but I still have to actively listen if I want to get 100% of some song.

        Same here, I tend to pay attention to the melody rather than any of the lyrics unless I actively try otherwise.
