How Old Are You?

No, I'm 19, and Mason is 20, I'm turning 20 in December.
Also, SolarBlaze is 23 or 24, while '3K is over 21 too, as far as I know.
But I agree, most of the people here are young, really young.

My first English words were taught to me when I was 10, and on my 13th age, my English grammar was still horrible, but at least I could write on English Forums for the first time.

Sorry, I must have misread something you posted or something.

>Well I think you do a very good job with English What is your native language?
Thanks for that, many other Forums told me I have a funny English, rather than a good one.
And my native languages are Polish and Dutch.

Polish because my both parents are Polish, but I can talk and understand Polish only, not write it.
Dutch is because I'm born in The Netherlands, I always lived in The Netherlands, and at least I can write, speak, and understand it.
And yeah, what happens if you speak Polish to your family, and Dutch at school, at work, in the stores, at the restaurants, etc.?
 
@Yami--My native language is English :) I'm from America.
But I would've never guessed you had to learn English when you were older! I can read your stuff well! :D
 
Yeah, English is a language you need to learn at schools here, starting when you're 10 years old.
Even though, you'll still not learn the right accents and grammar (unless you do HAVO or VWO after the elementary school).
For this, I've been watching product reviews and unboxings on YouTube, and improved my English that way.
 
Yeah I hear English is one of the hardest languages to learn. But I learned in my Education classes that it's easier for students to learn a new language (other than their native lang.) when they are really young *Like toddler/preschool/Kindergarten ages*
 
That's true. I had a teacher once who spoke to his kids in Russian everyday until they were three. He says that they had some grammar problems in elementary school but now they can speak Russian and English fluently.
 
Oh wow! That's pretty cool though, I did a research paper on teaching foreign languages to younger children for one of my classes. I find that stuff fascinating.
 
Ehm, couldn't this thread be split up into a new thread about languages?
I mean, now we go way off.

I mean, this "How Old Are You?" thread still exists, while the posts about languages are going into a "Foreign Language" thread, for example.

We tend to get sidetracked :-[
 
I'm 17 now. Had a birthday last month. </unimportant>

Why not?
You'll get a lot more privileges (voting, drinking, driving, etc.) when you're adult (I'm adult so I know where I'm talking about).

Yeah, voting, drinking, driving <---separately of course!!! are some perks to being an adult, but yes there are also the other not-so-fun-things like bills and taxes and blah blah blah...lmao.
But you can always be a kid at heart! ♥
 
Yes, that's true.
These bills just annoy me, but since I don't earn much money, I also get some extra's from the country to make it good, so health care, electricity, water, gas, internet, rental of the house, etc. won't cost so much.
I don't have a car yet, so that's saves a lot of costs too, and I have a daughter that gives me extra money every 3 months.

And finally, my husband and I are paying the bills together, so that also saves half of all the money.
 
@Yami--wow just by the sound of all that, just seems crazy at times! I mean you're married and you have a baby, and I have never even had a boyfriend yet. I guess people gotta act grown up and adult-like when depending on the situation they're in.
But I'm sure you are blessed to have a wonderful baby girl ♥♥
 
We're actually not married yet, we decided to do the reverse of the usual way.
 
Here I know a lot of people who have kids before they are married (some even have 2 kids and they are only 21 years old...sheesh!). It seems to be the norm now in America?!
 
I don't know about that.
Usually, people first marry, and then get kids, but since we're both not religious, we decided to do the reverse thing.
