I learned English accidentally. You can too!
You only need the following things to learn the English language:
-The NTSC/UC versions of some Final Fantasy games (PS1 or PS2)
-A few printed american magazines (Rolling Stone, Popular Mechanics, Blackbelt, PSM, etc.)
-American TV channels (MTV, Spike, Fox, Disney, USA, TNT, etc.)
-American Music (Hilary Duff, 3 Doors Down, Marilyn Manson, etc.)
That is it. That is absolutely all you need. No grammar books, no Pimsleur, and not even an english native speaker to talk to. I have never in my life (and I mean NEVER EVER) had a conversation in English. Of course, I have used the language to talk to a few american but they have always been very brief and not what one would call a proper conversation.
I learned english accidentally by playing videogames, watching TV, and reading magazines. My friends learned the language the same way I did. And my younger cousin is learning it that way too, accidentally.
I understand the english language completely (all accents, slang, and etc.), and I never have to use a dictionary. As a matter of fact i'm learning Japanese via english. Also I never bothered learning the english or the spanish grammar which means that so far I know a lot more Japanese grammar than even Spanish grammar (my native language), though you've got to admit that Japanese is an easy language too. Not as easy as english though, but easy none the less. Now Russian on the other hand... well, that's a challenge.
