I worked with a guy from Lebanon (he was a Christian so the family left) and one of the main ways he learned English was by watching a tape of Scarface. He could quote scenes and dropped some of the more colorful expressions in everyday conversation.

Correct. If you dropped a Mexican in London and taught him English, he would talk with a London English accent

I used to know a German chick who learned English from her American ex-boyfriend.
