I’m from Vietnam. I’ve been in the UK for 10 years now. When I met my English husband 13 years ago at 19 I knew 0 English. We communicated using machine translation. So that’s when I started learning English. Fast forward to present day after immersion, living in an English speaking country, formal study, etc. and I’d say my writing and listening (understanding) are good, but my speaking and reading are still bad. I kind of gave up on trying to become fluent at this point.

    I’m glad to have been raised somewhere trilingual.

    In any case, if your reading and speaking is bad, you should practice that part. Get a few books you think you’d enjoy! If you are unsure about a word’s pronunciation while you are reading, you can look it up online, or just ask your husband.
