  I grew up in a border town in northern Mexico. We got a bunch of the TV channels from the US town across the border. I learned English watching those American channels.

  So did I, and a lot of people I grew up with. Cartoon Network, Discovery Channel and later on, the Internet.

  My teenage kids fluent as well, and that’s almost all of it from watching media. First cartoons and movies (I keep all my streaming services in the native language, and most of them are in English), and now… YouTube.
