Monkey Island taught me English. I can't tell you how confusing insult sword fighting was initially. I had to create long tables with the correct answers because I didn't get most of the puns, and then I had to start from scratch when I had to fight Carla.
Anyway, thanks, Ron Gilbert.

Monkey Island 3 taught me a good deal of english too. I was lucky to get a text-translated version with english voiceover.
