I've basically learned English by watching Divx movies that classmates burned on CD's for me.
There were no subtitles back then. Or they were in English only. If I didn't understand a words I had to look it op. On paper. In a dictionary.
This platform gives kids these days the same freedom, to learn a new language while having fun doing it: https://www.lingq.com/
I have no idea if it works or if it's worth the money. But the idea is pretty sound.
