Me? Do incredibly well? :p
1. How long have you been studying English?
Been watching American TV shows since I was like 8/9, and started learning it at school 5 years ago.
2. We all know you can write fluently, but what about speaking?
Hmm. I often struggle to find an appropiate word, and my accent is terrible, I think.
3. How would you rate your skills (reading, speaking, writing, listening comprehension)?
Reading: 9/10
Speaking: 5/10
Writing: 7/10
Listening comprehension: 9/10
4. By which means do you practice your English?
Fuck! Uhm, can you explain this a bit, I don't know the expression "by which means".

Does it mean something like "for which goal"?
5. Did you ever experience a full immersion period in any English speaking country or some like that?
I've been in America, and English went kinda well.
6. Do you like English? (stupid one, I know. But there's some people who just USE this language because they cannot do without it but actually don't like it)
Hmm. Well, I don't hate it, but I don't really like it neither.
7. What do you like the most about it?
English is probably the easiest language in the world to learn, but a difficult one to master. I mean, over here any 6 year old with an IQ of 70 can say a bit English, but there are few who do speak the language good.
8. What do you like the least?
The weird grammar,
definitely
9. Do you think it is easy?
See Q 7.
10. Which other languages do you know or would you like to?
I also know Latin, Dutch and French. In the future, I would like to learn French better (speak it fluently) and start Italian.
