I immigrated here when I was 11, I came from The Netherlands though (even though I'm not Dutch, I'm asian but I was born in Holland). Anyways, even though I didn't speak English in Holland when I was a kid, for some reason I learned English REALLY REALLY fast.
I don't know if it's exceptional genes or what but I was never in ESL, and after being in America for only 2 MONTHS, I was already in HONORS English. I was one of those really smart people and soon my english was so good that I was doing better than kids who were born here. Some people are just naturally smart.
It doesn't have much to do with the thread but I just wanted to brag how easily I learned English because I never got the chance to brag before!
I don't understand how people can be so retarded and be stuck in ESL for years. After 2 months here I was already in HONORS. And I also got a 4 on my AP exam in history in high school (which was an all written exam), I beat the valedictorian who ended up going to Harvard!!
