There are a lot cubers that don't speak english as their main language, like me, so the question is for them

Did cubing improved your English language?

it did improve my English a lot since i was not able to speak well in English, until i saw a lot video tutorials and such, and learned from that

so, yea, the question is for you now, did cubing improved your English?

In the Netherlands I had English lesson since I was 12 (I am now 48) , My study books in university was in English and all my documents at my work are in English. So cubing did not improve my English

But I did improve in other skills ....which are a direct results of my cubing hobby

I think reading a few books would improve your English more than cubing...

It drastically improved my English. As a matter of fact cubing helped me to realize that I love languages and international people and culture! I might even switch studies soon to become an interpreter. I plan on doing English and German and learn Spanish later on. Actually I hated languages at high school because I didn't see the practical use in it..

I already spoke English very well before I got into cubing. In fact, I study translation at university and thought that picking up high speed hobbies like playing tetris and speed cubing would help me getting faster with interpreting. I got faster at cubing but I'm still slow at interpreting.
