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?

Contextual learning is really powerful, your brain takes cues from the environment and helps you memorize things way better than if you were trying to memorize a word without the context that it’s used it.
It also forces you to learn the things you actually need to learn. Probably not great for learning advanced grammar or literature, but when it comes to your everyday life, you’ll soon pick up most words that you need to get through the day.
I moved to an English speaking country at 11 knowing the alphabet up till M at most, and there’s no course I could take to help me learn from my native language, so literally every day at school was total immersion. It took about 3 months and I was able to do most school work without a dictionary and make friends.
