I honestly don't even remember, but I do know I never had as much difficulty with learning it as other people my age seemed to have, whether at school or university. So I'm gonna have to say "not very."

I also recall that at some point during school years me and my circle of friends really got into regular movie nights, and a lot of the movies we watched would be in English, and at some point I also started making an active effort to get my movies and books in English, first to see if I could handle it and pretty soon because I realized the originals were just plain better, and I think that has/had a lot to do with it as well.
