> I don't believe that most swedes learn English by reading subtitles before starting school. It's not about learning the language per se, it's about familiarizing yourself with the sound of the language, which then makes formal learning feel much more intuitive. English becomes an easy subject because you always feel a little ahead of the material. When faced with a "fill in the blank" type of questions, you're able to answer them by what feels right, even when you can't quite explain why it feels right. It's why #1 rule of language learning at any stage in life is always gonna be immersing yourself with the language you want to learn, and by far the most effective way to immerse yourself (excluding moving to another country) is to consume content in your target language.
