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.

I've got the point on the second example. Speaking of the first though... As a Russian I can't really imagine this kind of differences straight away. So I need some kind of reasoning  to help me do just that. The only one I can come up with is that since no set order of "times" had been provided (or implied) beforehand, the one he mentiones is to be considered as an+other. Is that correct?
