English Thread

In this thread, we attempt to learn to read, write, and speak English, a language which would be very useful to know. It is widely spoken throughout the world.

Do you speak English? Are you fluent? What resources did you use to learn? Can you give some examples in this thread? Posts some useful links.

Let's help each other out and learn a new language.

It isn't right to use past continuous for period of time after something else happened, right?

E.g. "I arrived at 8 o'clock and was eating at 11 o'clock" should be "I arrived at 8 o'clock and ate at 11 o'clock".
