Foreign language TV with subtitles works really quite well too... that's how us Dutchies pick up languages too.
I think there are online courses with skype too, there's the Rosetta stone. FYI I only got English in Dutch school from 11...but videogames/TV sorted that, and holidays in Austria sorted the German. I hate the grammar though!
But you can get by in many places with just English...it's gotta be part cultural too, people not wanting to move.
