So basically the things that I learned from school, not from school, might be an English language because in our poor country and my poor school, the English language was not required at all in any spheres of jobs. And I learned English by myself by watching some videos and playing video games with friends. Mostly the game was named a Minecraft. I used to adjust it in English language because my parents wouldn’t accept any other games that won’t be engaging, that aren’t engaging for me. But not only the games helped me to educate English language, but also videos. I watched a lot of videos in young age because in my first two years, my parents wouldn’t able to control me and they bought me an iPad. It’s a phone and they gave me it too. So I could sit in one place and watch videos. In that case I basically learned English by myself and maybe some other things.
