    My MiL moved here from India and watched soap operas not just to learn idiomatic English but to learn how to dress for cold weather.

    Growing up in Colombo and Chennai, it never got cold enough to need socks; she was in Midland Ontario and the soaps taught her how to wear snow boots, winter jackets, scarves, wool hats.
