How is total immersion the best way, or any way at all to learn a language? How would you pick up more than a handful of words?
In: 0
The first thing you should learn is how to say things like, “What is this called?” and “What does <word in target language> mean?”
Once you can learn new words while using only the target language, you can pick up vocabulary pretty quickly.
Why immersion works is a question for cognitive scientists. That it works is a pretty simple observation. How many of us got high marks in some foreign language for four years of high school and still can’t find the bathroom? Those of us that have immersed are aware of the massively increased competence we achieved from the experience.
