I've never been to an English-speaking country and yet I'm pretty close to fluent. How come?

English is relatively easy and the default "culture" (games, music, movies, shows, internet, &c.) language for like half of the planet, plus it's mandatory in schools in most of the west.
Many people throughout the world certainly do not find it "easy".
Yeah that would be the other half of the planet I mention in my comment.
