"The problem with LJ: we all think we are so close, but really we know nothing about each other.

I want you to ask me something you think you should know about me. Something that should be obvious, but you have no idea about.

Ask away. Then post this in your LJ and find out what people don't know about you."

This could be interesting.

How did you learn such a good command of the English language?

The base is the nine years of english I had in school (from when I was ten) and then I just read a lot and like to talk to people a lot. As mentioned above I was very active in politics, mainly between 1988 and 1994, and I was also active on a european level in an organization called A SEED (http://www.aseed.net/) and it's predecessor EYFA (http://www.eyfa.org/) (then called European Youth Forest Action, now European Youth for action). This gave me a lot of practice in talking to people as I traveled to meetings, I also hitch-hiked through Europe one month in 1993, although that trained my german more than my english.


I think it comes down to that I like to talk (a lot) and I like to read. 80% of the books I read for my work are in english for example.
