Non-natives: what do you think about English language?

I started learning English when I was 7 years old and been using it ever since. I am now 22 years old, my first language is Thai. It was difficult for me probably because I still went to Thai school on the weekends. When my English teacher notice that I was not progressing well, my Dad cut my Thai school out on the weekends so I could concentrate on the English.
My English improved pretty fast, by the next year I was fluent. The only thing that I do regret is dropping Thai school. I forgot how to read, write, and even forgot a lot of Thai words. I Understand a lot better then speaking. It's kind of weird but most of my family speak to me in Thai but then I would always respond in English.
Some people find it surprising or weird that since I am Asian that I sound completely like any other American. There are some words some people say that they can hear a accent but some don't hear it at all. I suspect it's a combination of Thai being my first language, then learning English at the age of 7, and somewhere along in there I adopted the way other Texans (I grew up in Dallas, TX for most of my life) speak.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
