if i ever see an item with "idiot blinds self" as affix i just die laughing -.-
@GubbelGubbel: even the oxford english we already learn in our schools is translated hoorbile by the translating sites...
anyway, the last 3 years of school (or the last 4, i don't remember very well^^) we started really talking in english lessons, one reason was our good teacher of course, but by speaking you learn more than just the oxford english
in my opinion the best way to learn english (or any other language for that matter) is to speak it a lot, to read it a lot (literature, not school crap^^) and to watch movies in that language
i started about 3 years ago (again i can't remember exactly) with some movies, now everything i watch is english (except for german television of course, but i hate 99% of the program, so i don't watch more than 1 hour per week i'd say - and maybe 20 hours english stuff on my computer
)
