Well if you can imagine nearly all my learning outside of texts comes from secular Jews, one was online very long ago and the rest some place I was staying a few years ago.
R. studied to be a rabbi but got into some other line of work. Was an online friend well over ten years ago.
T.R. has nearly the same U.M.C. background as me but had a Jewish mother. Does Chayneu studies and learns spoken and written Hebrew from self-study programmes but is told he is off on pronouncaitions.
B.W. went to Yeshiva but secular now.
G.B. grew up near Brooklyn and knew a lot of cultural things also very secular.
I've read through the whole Authorised Version front to back. Read an English language Quran from Penguin but I was told that version is trash-exact words. Read the Torah again, Aleph version, was reading Artscroll Tanakh, now have JPS version. Have some other assorted prayer books.
Of course I have learned that a lot more texts exist such as commentary that I don't have access to or if I did wasn't in English. I have internet now but really don't know where to start so I searched and found here. I'm aware I have a lot of studying ahead of me but really need pointed in the right direction.
Now I am on my own.
