A huge part of the English I can speak now was learnt by listening, reading and singing along to Achtung Baby. My parents had (and still have) a great vinyl edition, and in the booklet there's the usual lyrics, but on the other side of the booklet it's the translated lyrics.
I have spent COUNTLESS hours learning these lyrics, getting used to the pronunciation, studying the grammar differences between my language and this new language. When I was 6-7 and the kids in my class were having the first English lessons (one, two, three, blue, red, t-shirt, trousers), I could already recit a good bunch of perfectly worded song lyrics
When I was 9 I sung a U2 song a capella in my English class, it was Stay (Faraway, So Close!) and I got quite a bit of recognition by my classmates and my teacher.One of the earliest memories I have in my life was asking my mum to put on the "Melon album" (Zooropa), I was 3, Zooropa had just been released and I was hooked to songs like Lemon, Daddy's Gonna Pay and Numb. And another memory that's burnt into my brain is my parents going out shopping, me (something like 9 years old) playing the War album on our turntable at a defeaning volume and being absolutely fascinated by AND unable to sing the "She tried to be a good girl and a good wife, raise a good family, lead a good life, it's not good enough... She got herself up on the 48th floor, she's gotta find out, find out what she's living for" part of Surrender - and rewinding it once and again and again until I could perfectly sing that part.
That's why I say I've actually learnt my English with U2, specially with three albums I listened several times a week during years (Achtung, Zooropa, War).
Good night
