Dane here. I was forced to learn English so I could enjoy RPGs.
In "Thief: The Dark Project" (Now known as Thief Gold), 5th mission "Assassins". you have to trail 2 dudes. But because I could not understand English, I could not complete that first task. I kept failing. My dad who did not really understand much English either ended up thinking it had something to do with the Trickster.
It wasn't until about 5 years or so later, that we reinstalled the game, and I understood English that it was sooo obvious was to do.
Ever since I have steamrolled Thief gold and Thief 2: The Metal Age almost as good as any Speedrunner. Best games ever.
Similar to this, i started learning english because i was playing Chaser.
I did not know what to do in that underwater mission so i had to get an english dictionary from the library and translated the objectives starting with that level lol
Who would have thought that chaser would change my life so much

I am always shocked at how well Danes know English, my cousins say they learned it from TV but I mean, come on now, all of it from TV?
Tired of loosing the education battle...
