Started learning it from video games at about 5-6 years old, had tutor classes paid for by my dad (for the whole class) from 7 years old. Then from 10 years old I had summer camp overseas every year until 13, then sent off to the UK.
Tried to pick up other languages along the way from Japanese to French to Italian to Spanish to Ukrainian to Polish, but none of them really stuck, shit just takes forever and it's hard to keep coming back to it after the novelty has worn off from a few hours of translation exercises and flash cards and such.
Understandable. What’s your first language?
Russian
I want to learn Russian!!
