My two kids learned english (we are Mexican and live in Mexico) by playing videogames and watching cartoons. Although their mother and I both speak english, we never spoke to them in english and they never took any kind of english lessons. They both started playing videogames when they were two years old. I found out that games like Super Mario 64 were more educational than most PC "educational" games. Finding the 100 coins in a Super Mario level turned out to be an excellent way to learn about numbers and counting. A few months ago they started playing World of Warcraft and since then I've seen a great improvement in my youngest (11 years old) son's skill for written communication.
