I'm from Spain and English is my third language (currently trying to learn Portuguese)
I've learn it with music (Judas Priest🤟), movies and series.
For some reason, learning through music is really hard for me. I have zero issues talking and listening to English speakers for years now, but I still have to actively listen if I want to get 100% of some song.
As a native English speaker I certainly won't process the words of a lot of songs without a conscious effort
Lyrics are so often indecipherable as well. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=jGLYJQJh9c8
One that I remember is that I had heard the song "believer" a number of times before learning its name, I always thought they were saying "pick me up and pick me up and leave me, and leave me". I don't think I even tried to decypher the rest lol
