How does Worf know so much about Klingon culture if he was raised by humans? Wikipedia tells me he was adopted when he was 5 by humans but not much about how he became so Klingon despite living on earth.

It probably wasn't that hard to get it from books or holo books or whatever they had.
However I think that he got a lot of false information, because when he worked with the Klingon Empire he was always kind of arguing that his version of honor for example was different then their version of honor.
It would be equivalent to me being born as a human child, being adopted by a wolf family at a young age and learning their language and hearing their stories of human then going back to live among the humans.
I think Worf had this overly romantic, idealized concept of the "Truf" about the Klingon Empire, and I think that he found out that the Klingon concept of honor was a little more nebulous then he thought it was.
For example
Worf - "You slaughtered unarmed civillians and woman and children"
Captain Blarg - "Yes and it was glorious and honorable, now I'm off to topple the high council"
Worf- "None of this is honorable, I demand one on one combat with you, as our customs demand"
Captain Blarg - "First of all, what do you know about honor, you're stained with humanity. second of all, I think I'll just shoot you instead"
