South Korea loves Starcraft. People here still play the decade old game online and matches are always played on TV. South Korea also has a broad selection of English training books that go from your basic workbook to well… Starcraft English! Yes, through the magic of Starcraft you can boost your English vocabulary. While the concept seems strange, Starcraft English is actually brilliant. It’s designed for hardcore fans who immediately know what a Zealot is regardless of the “difficulty” of the word or the language barrier. (Note: Starcraft was only released in English in Korea!)

Videogames and movies taught me english.

I dont think I remember a single thing from school, past present, present perfect? Present simple? No fucking clue what they are anymore lol.

Anyway this does seem like a pretty decent way to improve vocabularies I guess.

Haha, that's amazing. I didn't learn much from SC except meanings of: Zealot, Corsair, and Scourge. In terms of other games so learned so much from Civilization IV and III.

Lineage 2 taught me english, school was just for useless definitions of times and stuff, which I don't remember anymore.

Learned a lot of words from Diablo 2. Some are actually decent adjectives.
