King's Quest and Space Quest with an English dictionary next to me. Text-parser games so no way around it. But I was so stoked on the games that I learned English with glee.
Thine story is similar to mine, except thou didst learn with Kings Quest, whereas I learned with Ultima VII.
This reminds me of a story someone posted about learning Japanese while playing the Yakuza games, only to be told by a native speaker that while their pronunciation was great, they spoke like a thug/delinquent.
It makes me wonder if any foreign speakers learned English from Mafia movies and speak with a stereotypical mob accent as a result.
