100% native - I was born and raised here. Started learning English around the age of... hmmmm... 10 or 11. Not quite sure. Video games helped me A LOT in this regard - this was a great way to both learn and have fun.

I learned my first ENG words from Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis - open, close, push, pull, talk, walk, use, etc. Still, my grasp of thelanguage was minimal, so conversations were my nightmare. I couldn't understand a thing, so I just clicked the lines randomly until I got it right (and then memorized the "correct" sequence). I still remember that situation where I'd talk to a guard and he would start fighting me. Years later I found out he fought with me becuase I kept calling him "a Darwinian nightmare."

Furthermore, I started translating 10 years ago. I was pretty bad at first, but I learned a lot since then and I am officially a professional translator nowadays (my specialty is medical and scientific texts).

About Wikia - I'm not sure. Never really bothered to check.
