Do we have an English teacher among us?

[Gorn Captain]

I'm in Gr.8 and can do Gr.12 English, does that count?

Consider yourself invited!
No problem!

Well, you do speak a bit of English, judging from the few posts you've made on this forum, so maybe....

No problem!!!
I now have six people on my list, so that's OK.

The rest of you will hopefully turn this book into a true bestseller....

Does everyone in Belgium speak --or at least, write in English as good as you guys ?

To be honest, if I didn't know you both --- by your postings, i'd swear you both were British or American.

Is English a second language in Belgium and taught in all schools ?

English is our third language here in school. At least on the Flemish side of the country. The "other side" (the Walloons) often speak French and very little else, unfortunately.

But the way I truly learned English was by reading Target novelisations of Dr. Who, and watching the BBC and American movies. That really taught me all I needed to know.
When I went to English class, my teachers asked if I was repeating that year, because I knew all the material already.
What could I say? Dr. Who taught me?

That's funny.

I remember reading That 70's Show/Family Guy Mila Kunis (who is from the Ukraine) say she learned English by watching the Price is Right (American game show)

Same here: TV series and movies taught me more than any teacher in school

Actually, that's what I do for a living... in Dutch of course
