How did Samoset learn English?

Answer:
Samoset learned English from fishermen who wandered into his tribe's coastal territory. It is also possible that he had previously encountered fur-trading outposts, as this was the main export of the Americas at the time.

[Note that regardless of how the Pilgrims were portrayed, the famed Plymouth Colony at Massachusetts Bay was not the first permanent English colony in the "New World" in fact, the first lasting colony was Jamestown Colony, founded in the year of 1607, located in modern-day Virginia.

Even so, Jamestown was still not the first of the English colonies in the western hemisphere. There were multiple other colonization attempts prior to the successful Jamestown, including the mysterious lost colony of Roanoke.]
