+1 for naivety
Jonathan, a warm welcome into what we like to call a global community. We are global in so far as we come from and move across different geographic spaces, and found the Euro-English Alberto is referring to as a common language disguised in a social norm that we gently push to encourage those who are less confortable using it. Yet it is not surprising this sometimes can work little worse than expected when assessed against all greatness that could happen were it not for people getting lost in translation- an example here, other considerations here.
PS I myself as a child was fortunate enough to learn English just by watching cartoons (the Romanian Cartoon Network channel wasn’t dubbed), same with some Italian, not even being aware that I am in fact learning (like you wisely put it when describing ReBeats).
