Many poker players moved to Mexico to play at Stars. Follow them and you will likely learn Spanish.

I recently treated a serious poker even with ridicule, misunderstanding how people can play it on a huge amount of money, I thought they were stupid, but now after I experienced the intricacies of poker I confidently say that poker is an intellectual game, and with a serious attitude it is possible to achieve gold tops and popularity!

While I was registering here I thought if I even don't became really good poker player I'll improve my English skills. So this thread says me that's feasible

Joined CC 5 years ago, I think the same period I started playing online.
What has poker done for me ?
My bank account is about the same. But recently I was reading my old posts in the forum and I noticed something scary, about my level of english
So proudly I can say that thru poker I have learned the english language much easier than i did in school !

Bank balance being about the same after 5 years of poker... but you have learnt english, that is a positive.

Poker is a truly international game and brings lots of different nationalities together. I have made many friends from all over the world playing poker friends I would never had made if I did not play poker.

THIS+1000!!!

I too have made many personal friends from around the globe from poker. I find it interesting to learn the different views and experiences as well as things we all have in common.
