Some were just born in the US and eventually learn because there are people around them that speak English and school helps a lot too. For others they either watch a lot of English tv shows and make friends that speak English, and eventually they start learning little by little.

I say this because my mother tongue language is Spanish and I learned English by going to school and it was a lot of pressure since my family doesn’t speak English and no one around me did, but after 2 years I improved and now I’m very fluent that I even use slang.

I HOPE THIS HELPS. Sorry everything was in English

When we are In kindergarten we learn the alphabet and the sounds they make.
_____

Example:

“A” is for Apple

“B” is for Ball

“C” is for Cat

1st grade through 5th is when they teach us sentence structure.

_

Example :

“I like apples.”
“I have a pet cat.”
“I love my mom and dad!”
“What is that?”

We learn what (The, Like, Is, Are, There’s, That’s, What, Can’t, Could, Would, it’s, should, there’re, Want, Have, Need and more.

@Park_Seoyeon thank you very much! I'm a learner from China, and i have learn English for about ten years, just learn in school and when i do my housework, but i can't even get it when someone say a simple sentence and i always take a long time to speak out a sentence which I'm not sure about its correctness, and now the same.

And i think i have a big trouble, that is, when i'm hearing, i always try to write words in my brain, and it also appear when i speak. i think i should listen more and speak more. And my learning resources is too formal and short of daily conversation. and now i encounter the Hinative. hhhh i get the charm of language gradually. i love English, love Spanish, French and Japanese.omg..
