Majority of Finnish children learns English from TV and knows it quote well before starting school. They learns all from TV, because in Finland they do not voice-over dub[0] TV shows (except children shows), only add subtitles.

When I was child we had re-transmitted children German tv shows, I could speak German a bit without actually learning it for other sources.

Disclaimer: I'm not from Finland, but had discussion with one of the teacher in there.
