I was 'forced' to start learning English when I reached the 4th grade in elementary school eleven years agoEmotion: big smile I was no more than nine or ten I think, I cannot remember it exactly. It is customary here in Denmark for all children attending school to commence learning english by the time they reach the 4th grade. As I recall, I loved it already from the beginning, actually I do not know why. Perhaps for the reason that we(Danes) are brought up surrounded by English, i.e. Televison, songs, news, films, etc.
