I learnt english way before I started my english lessons in school from just watching subtitled american and british soap operas. That way you pick up the structure, the accent and build up vocabulary really quickly. Of course it might be a challenge for an english speaker to find something interesting to watch with english subtitles.
Now that my hubby is slowly starting to learn my 1st language, I found it useful to place post-it notes on things around the house like fridge, door, window, computer etc. saying their name in finnish, to teach him some of the basic words.
