Brazilian here, you can study English in school your entire life and don't know how to tell, Hi, my name is. MGS, Babylon 5 and Stargate SG1 was all I needed to learn English.

Why are you so sure of yourself here? It's weird to be so convinced that you know how other people learned something.

You literally can tho. It's how someone as a baby learns basic language, it works for older ppl too.

A lot of people who teach themselves languages are neurodivergent. I taught myself Spanish from listening to Spanish pop music. Yes, I taught it to myself. I was not enrolled in the language in school. I literally learned enough to travel to Spanish-speaking countries and to exist for weeks without communicating in English.
