    My high school Spanish teacher said she learned English after immigrating to the US by watching English soap operas like Days of Our Lives and things like that. I’m sure the same could be done but not sure how exactly. It would probably take a lot of active listening.

      My MiL moved here from India and watched soap operas not just to learn idiomatic English but to learn how to dress for cold weather.

      Growing up in Colombo and Chennai, it never got cold enough to need socks; she was in Midland Ontario and the soaps taught her how to wear snow boots, winter jackets, scarves, wool hats.

      I studied some English in school but I really learned it watching series with English subtitles
