Isn't English also a separate class taught in English schools to native English speakers?
- dfawcus 10mo agoYes. All through middle and high school, so for 7 years from around 10 to 16. It did become one eventually in primary school, so probably the last 2 or 3 years there.
- shawn_w 10mo agoEnglish classes (at least at my high school) were largely about literature, less the language itself. Though I did take one elective class on grammar.
- nephihaha 10mo agoNot always well. One of the problems is that English speakers do not get taught the proper parts of speech. I learnt far more about English from learning other languages than I ever did in English class. We would get told off for bad spelling and grammar, but very little on the actual mechanics.
