Well, that's interesting. My story is actually similar to yours in some ways. I'm Brazillian though i've never been a big fan of Portuguese. I ended up learning English through video games and the internet, I've also always been a fan of Anime though i didn't start regularly watching until recently. I had known about the Visual Novel genre for quite some time before i actually read one, but I used to dismiss them as "boring text games", until i learned about Fate/Stay Night through the PSP version of the fighting game Fate/Unlimited Codes. Fate/Stay Night was the first Visual Novel i read from beginning to end, and it was a simply fantastic experience, one that couldn't be experienced in any other form of entertainment. It ended up being the hook that brought me into the world of Visual Novels and eroge, it also made me embrace my otaku side more than I ever had before.
