I learned to read in foreigner and soon after moved to an English country at age 6.
I was an atrocious speller until I moved back to foreign-land and had to take English class with my schoolmates.
Learning how people mispronounce English phonetically fixed most of my spelling.
- leke 1y agoI'm English and an atrocious speller until I started learning Finnish and learned to pronounce the English words phonetically in my head using the Finnish phonetic system.
- sheiyei 1y agoThat's awesome, I'm Finnish but when at school in England I was very quickly one of the best spellers in my class.
