All my gratitude to Sega Genesis, SNES and Playstation !!!!
You know, I have many friends who started learning English by playing videogames, and they aren't violent at all :P And, may I had Nintendo 64 to the list? My sister learned part of her English skills by playing Zelda Ocarina of Time

As to answer Dogsbody's question, in Quebec (Canada), we learn English as a second language starting at 8 or 9 years old, through high school and even in college. I read a lot of books, eventually started reading mangas in English and then I started going to English forums (well, what I mean is forums where English is the language used for the most communication )
