>>81207610Swede here, we have mandatory english education from age 7 onwards that is based on leaning how to speak english the way people actually speak it rather than the hyper-rigid formal way like it's learned in Japan but no one actually speaks, combined with the fact that (like Da Michi to tie it back to Phase) we consume a LOT of english entertainment that's subtitled rather than dubbed. If you're a scifi nerd between the age of 35-40, you watched Star Trek in english growing up.
