I picked up English on the street..learn complete sentences instead of only words

That's a good hack!

A close Russian friend of mine memorized his favorite tv shows, and then began slowly watching them in English. Knowing the basis and context, he slowly began to understand.

That's brilliant. I think watching complete TV shows is very useful.

@pato72: good luck to you

Well I learned the most basic stuff in school and then watched TV shows with German subtitles, then with English subtitles and then without. The rest came from just writing a lot of English stuff.

It's worth it. Believe me.

watch movies with subtitles in your native language,,, lots of them

I'll tell you that a lot of people around me do so, and the results aren't that good.

@pato72: what do you mean?

pato72 · 26-30, M

@iamnoor: I think the subtitles are quite inaccurate which causes misconception.
