how I started and how it's ended
- My journey in English language started in 2011.
- Of coarse English leassons were part of my education in school and university but I was not motivated at all and after 15 years of "studying" knew nothing more then a simple "Hello, my name is...".
- So in 2011 I got my first serious job.
- It was quite big automotive plant outside the city and I spent about 3 hours every day in transport.
- It was so boring that I decide to add something usefull to these rootine.
- I've downloaded 2 series of "Big Bang Theory" and just watch it in the transport.
- These series were thiout translation and even without subtitles.
- Today I still remember each line and each word that Sheldon or Leonard said in these two episodes.
- Next step was Star Wars: The Old Republic.
- This game was entirely in English.
- I choose it because Bioware was developer and I love this studio.
- In this game it was - understand or suffer consecuonces.
- For the 3 months my English skills raised to the level there I was able to speak with other people and be sure that they definetely understand me.
- I've tried to upply my CV to the big automotive company where all managers are expatriots. And I succeed.
- So next 4 years I was using my English every day in work and private conversations.
- Now I'm working in Russian company and I miss English so much!
- I spend literaly all my free time on the BuzzFeed channels or watching The Biggest Looser, The Project Runway and other TV shows.
- I still can understand 95% by hearing but it's very hard for me to read because I had not so much practice.
- And my writing skills are poor as you can see :)
