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 makes more sense to use "a" before "church" because we are establishing the scene. We cannot use "the" before "church" unless there is only one church we could possibly be talking about. Perhaps the people in this town know there is only one church, in which case this makes sense. Otherwise, it sounds strange.
Thank you. BTW, why do you (native English speakers) say "the cinema" even if you don't mean a specific cinema?
